Specifically, the AMAC boss said defaulters would be made to pay fine to serve as deterrent to others.

“I can’t see reasons why people bring trash from their houses to dump into the flood drains. This is wrong, and it is the cause of water to overflow to the roads.

“These facilities are meant for people, and for proper flow of water, but people will rather drop their waste into the drains

”We have been warning the people against it, soon we will start imposing fines” he said.
