The Male’ City Council has expressed concern over the increasing trend of illegal waste disposal on the streets of the capital, specifically noting the involvement of foreign nationals in these activities.

Reiterating that littering in public spaces is a punishable offense, the Council confirmed that efforts are underway to identify and penalize violators. Authorities are currently monitoring streets to ensure those responsible are held accountable through fines.

The Council has issued a formal appeal to expatriates employed as domestic helpers and those working in private companies to refrain from such actions. They urged all residents to cooperate in maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of Male’ City to ensure a pleasant environment for the public.

According to the Council, the ultimate objective is to transform every street in the capital into a clean and accessible space for all citizens and visitors.
