No littering campaign imposed in Sharjah

Sharjah Municipality has begun a campaign today to inform the general public about the littering bad effects and the importance of preserving the environment.

In the report of Gulf News, "We spend a large sum of money on an annual basis to maintain the city's cleanliness and its landscapes but there is a significant number of people who continue to throw waste on the city's landscapes, public beaches and parks,". Engr. Sultan Abdullah Al Mualla, Director General of Sharjah Municipality said.

"We have already increased the number of staff to cope with the level of waste that is constantly increasing, which is caused by more people who are in living in Sharjah now," he said.

The campaign will be coordinated with Sharjah Police and the Ministry of Labour, in adding together to other governmental departments.

They will be imposing fines those caught littering. "Depending on the severity of the violations, such as smoking sheesha or dumping a large quantity of waste in an area, the municipality inspectors will impose fines between Dh200 and Dh500," Al Mualla said.
