Police have started implementing efforts to identify offenders who have discarded garbage onto the streets of Male'. Once identified, these individuals are made to remove the garbage they left on the streets and dispose of them properly.
Despite efforts of multiple agencies, the issue of Male' streets continuing to fill up with garbage - including carboard boxes, old furniture and appliances, and household waste - was not resolved even as the month of Ramadan commenced.
Initially Male' City Council and WAMCO began a special drive to dispose of the garbage on the streets through a dedicated initiative. However, instead of this bringing a solution to the problem, Male' streets continued to be filled with increasing amounts of waste every day. Finally, the authorities began identifying offenders and levying fines against them.
In a post on social media X today, Police have announced that they are conducting work in collaboration with relevant institutions to offer advice to and place fines against offenders who discard garbage on the streets.
Police said that once offenders are identified, these individuals will be made to clean up the relevant locations and dispose of the garbage in a responsible manner.
Police appealed to the public to be more responsible with regards to their civic responsibilities and to refrain from making the streets dirty so as to prevent the spread of diseases.
