The action, carried out on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, followed findings that the indiscriminate waste disposal was causing environmental pollution, creating a public nuisance, and posing serious risks to human health.

“The indiscriminate discharge of raw sewage into public drains is not only harmful to the environment but also dangerous to public health,” Wahab stated.
