As the world marks the world environment day, Gov Simon Lalong urges citizens to make a committment to care for the environment and support efforts in making our environment safer and cleaner.
The Government notes with great concern the indiscriminate disposal of refuse on gutters and streets.
This practice has resulted in blockades of the drainage systems leading to overrun and flooding, as the rains intensify.
Furthermore, the indiscriminate disposal of refuse constitute health challenges and affect the eco system.
Members of the public are hereby urged to dispose there wastes responsibly by making use of designated refuse points as provided by operators engaged by the government.
As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) we call on organisations, NGOs and public spirited individuals to combat the environmental menace caused by improper disposal of waste especially plastics.
