RO100 fine for littering public places, warns Muscat Municipality

Muscat Municipality has warned people against littering in public places. The municipality shared photos of a site on top of the Amerat-bausher mountain, which was recently littered with barbecue waste.

A statement issued by Muscat Municipality said, ‘This is not just littering, it's a behaviour which harms public health, pollutes the environment, and deprives others from spending good times outdoors. Littering is forbidden by law, and punishable by a fine of up to RO100.’

The cleanliness of Muscat and the preservation of tourist facilities and sites are the responsibility of everyone, the civic body stated.
