EMA launches blitz on litter bugs
Richard Muponde ·
THE Environment Management Agency (EMA) has launched a blitz on litter bugs in Harare and Chitungwiza, which has resulted in one of the country’s largest pharmaceutical companies, Varichem, being issued with a $800 000 ticket for dumping medical waste along High Glen Road in the capital.
Varichem was nabbed during on-going inspections for waste dumping in the capital.
EMA manager responsible for Harare, Robson Mavondo, yesterday confirmed the issue to NewsDay and warned pharmaceutical companies to adhere to environmental regulations.
