Minister of Rural Development and Local Government, Kazim Hosein, is urging members of the public not to throw items into watercourses, drains and rivers.
He says this contributes to flooding which was experienced in Mount Lambert and other areas recently.
He also thanked the various responders and stakeholders who helped with clean-up activities.
Speaking with reporters this afternoon, Minister Hosein called on the population to act responsibly with respect to how they discard their waste.
