Furthermore, the advisor believes that rising global warming poses a threat to the world’s and the environment’s survival. He also recommended individuals to practise good eco-friendly waste management behaviours such as decreasing plastic trash. Mr Wahab also emphasised the government’s efforts to minimise pollution by planting 50,000 plant plants in various parts of the city.
Previously, the city had three wastewater treatment plants to meet the rising population’s needs. However, the plants gradually became non-functional, and their treatment capacity was reduced to zero. Recent attempts have been made in response to increased calls from various segments of society for the development of environmentally friendly policies.
