MBPP angkut 1.4 tan sisa barang lusuh simpan di rumah teres

GEORGE TOWN: Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang (MBPP) memugut 1.4 tan barangan lusuh dari sebuah rumah teres dua tingkat di daerah Timur Laut sehingga menimbulkan kacau ganggu kepada penduduk sekitar dengan longgokan sisa barang lusuh.

MBBP, dalam kenyataan hari ini, berkata tindakan itu diambil menerusi operasi bersepadu yang dijalankan bersama Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah Timur Laut, Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM) dan jabatan-jabatan dalaman MBPP, semalam.

MBPP berkata tiga buah lori terpaksa digunakan untuk mengangkut kesemua longgokan barangan lusuh itu selepas pemiliknya sengaja membiarkan kawasan kediamannya dalam keadaan semak dan menjijikkan.

"Notis Menghendaki Kacau Ganggu Dihapuskan kepada pemilik premis telah dikeluarkan pada 29 Dis lepas mengikut Seksyen 82 Akta Kerajaan Tempatan 1976 Majlis Bandaraya Pulau Pinang namun tiada tindakan diambil pemilik untuk membersihkan kesemua sampah terbabit," menurut kenyataan itu.

Pada masa yang MBPP berkata pegawai Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah Timur Laut yang turut menjalankan operasi pemeriksaan bekas-bekas berpotensi pembiakan nyamuk telah menemui pembiakan jentik-jentik yang banyak di dalam baldi.

Sehubungan itu, tindakan penguatkuasaan sewajarnya sedang dipertimbangkan ke atas pemilik kediaman tersebut kerana gagal mematuhi Notis di bawah Seksyen 8 Akta Pemusnahan Serangga Pembawa Penyakit 1975 sebanyak dua kali.
