In continuing a crackdown on litterbugs, wardens from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Litter Enforcement Unit served notices to Anil Das, Chairman of the Mon Repos Neighbourhood Democratic Council, and Eddie Seon, resident of the same village, a release from the EPA said this evening.
During a stakeout conducted by the Unit on January 13, the EPA said that numerous heaps of domestic waste was discovered on the roadside at School Street, De Andre Street, Richards Ville and Martyrs Ville.
To this end, Das in his capacity as NDC Chairman was issued a Clean-up Order, which gives him two weeks to ensure that all waste is removed from these areas. Under the Regulations, the release said that local authorities are legally obligated to ensure that public spaces under their management are kept free of litter, and that receptacles for waste deposit are provided and emptied in a timely manner.
