Environmental experts and concerned citizens have condemned the act, describing it as a blatant disregard for public health and a major contributor to urban flooding and pollution.
Social media users have criticized the lack of awareness and discipline, stressing that such behavior undermines national sanitation efforts and endangers entire communities.
Improper waste disposal during rains can clog drainage systems, increase the spread of waterborne diseases, and worsen flooding — problems that continue to plague many urban areas across the country.
Authorities are yet to comment on the incident.
However, environmental advocates are urging city officials and law enforcement agencies to identify and prosecute offenders to deter such acts in the future.
They also emphasized the need for more robust public education on responsible waste management.
This latest video serves as a stark reminder of the pressing need for improved sanitation infrastructure and civic responsibility across communities.
