The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has initiated a strict crackdown on public littering, imposing fines of up to 50,000 rupees and potential imprisonment of up to three years for violators.
In an effort to address the increasing problem of waste disposal on streets and sidewalks, the KMC has issued warnings to numerous restaurants and businesses throughout the city.
These notices, issued under the Sindh Local Government Act, emphasize the illegality of dumping waste in public areas.
