Karachi is taking strict action against public littering with tough penalties. The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has announced that anyone caught littering could be fined up to Rs. 50,000 or even face up to three years in jail.
Mayor Murtaza Wahab shared that municipal inspectors will be on the ground to ensure these rules are followed. The aim is to discourage littering and encourage people to keep the city clean. The mayor stressed that this initiative is part of a larger effort to improve Karachi’s environment and make it a cleaner, healthier place for everyone.
This move comes as Karachi faces ongoing challenges with waste management and pollution. Authorities hope that strict penalties will make people think twice before throwing trash in public spaces. The city plans to raise awareness about the importance of cleanliness alongside enforcing these rules.
By introducing heavy fines and jail time, the KMC wants to set a strong example and change public behavior. Officials believe that everyone has a role in keeping Karachi clean, and these measures will push people to take responsibility for their actions.
Karachi’s crackdown on littering is a step toward creating a cleaner and more sustainable environment for its residents. The city’s leaders are hopeful that these efforts will bring about a positive change and inspire people to respect their surroundings.
