At least 17 individuals have been arrested in the Munuki area of Juba for allegedly violating municipal sanitation regulations during a citywide environmental compliance operation.<\/p>\n

The arrests followed Monday\u2019s environmental enforcement drive aimed at ensuring residents and business owners comply with sanitation requirements and maintain clean surroundings.<\/p>\n

According to a statement issued by the Juba City Council Press Unit, the suspects were scheduled to appear in court to face legal proceedings over the alleged violations.<\/p>\n

The council warned that future violations of sanitation regulations would attract full legal penalties without exception.<\/p>\n

\u201cJuba City Council environmental enforcement operations continue today. Violators will face immediate arrest and prosecution. Quarter councils must urge all citizens and business owners to keep their surroundings clean,\u201d the statement partly read.<\/p>\n

The council said three individuals, including a pregnant woman and two breastfeeding mothers, were released after receiving stern official warnings on humanitarian grounds.<\/p>\n

The environmental compliance operation is part of the city authorities’ efforts to improve sanitation and address practices that contribute to poor hygiene in residential and commercial areas.<\/p>\n

The council has repeatedly urged residents, traders and business owners to take responsibility for keeping their surroundings clean and avoiding improper waste disposal.<\/p>\n

The enforcement measures are also intended to discourage the dumping of rubbish in public spaces, drainage channels and other unauthorised locations, which can obstruct water flow and contribute to flooding and public health risks.<\/p>\n

The city authorities called on quarter councils to mobilise residents and businesses to observe sanitation regulations, stressing that maintaining a clean environment requires collective responsibility.<\/p>\n

The council’s latest warning signals continued enforcement against individuals and businesses found violating municipal sanitation requirements across Juba.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
