CDA issued notices to 988 violators of municipal laws in Sept
ISLAMABAD: The Sanitation Directorate of Capital Development Authority (CDA) has issued notices to 988 and challans to another 132 people for violating the municipal bylaws, during the month of September.

Director Sanitation Captain ® Faiz Muhammad said that the Directorate had formally started imposing fine from Rs.50 to Rs.300 on the spot for throwing littering and garbage. He also said that the task force deputed in Sector F-6, F-7 and F-10 imposed fine during the third phase of ongoing anti-litter drive.

Vast publicity campaign through banners, pamphlets, messages was carried out during the first and second phase of the drive commencing in April, the Director said.

All the markets have been provided with colorful dustbins and solid-waste from the different sectors and avenues have been shifted to the final disposal site. The Director said CDA has formally started the process of imposing fine on littering to help boost the efforts to keep the city clean.

The purpose of imposing fine is to discourage the throwing of garbage in ill-planned manners and raise awareness among the people in this regard as no municipality of the world can succeed to keep the city clean without cooperation of the residents. The residents of the beautiful capital should join hands with CDA to make it a beautiful city by ensuring cleanliness, he urges.

Earlier, CDA Chairman Imtiaz Inayat Elahi has said that the aim of imposing fine against the violators of anti-littering law was to attract the attention of the people towards the importance of hygiene and cleanliness, as it is the social responsibility of every one to protect environment. He also directed the Sanitation Directorate to extend the activities of task force deputed on imposing fine across the Capital to highlight the importance of clean environment
