Prompt intervention by the environmental police after the article in Week-End last Sunday on these cars abandoned on our roads, in front of the entrances to the homes of city dwellers and which often obstruct traffic.
Whether at rue Lislet Goeffroy in Curepipe or at rue Montgomery in Beau Bassin, the environment intervened the very day the article was published, that is to say Sunday, by affixing, as required by law, warnings giving warnings on the windshields of carcasses left in a state of decrepitude. 48 hours for vehicle owners to have them removed, failing which they will be removed from public roads.
We just hope that from now on this hunt for carcasses becomes systematic and that public roads are cleared of them. We also expect that the owners of these eyesores which also become mosquito nests in these rainy times will be hunted down and that they will receive heavy fines and reimbursement of the costs of moving this unsightly scrap metal.
As quite a few interested parties have come forward on social networks to remove these abandoned cars themselves and at their own expense, a modification of the law could be considered in this direction under certain conditions. This would lighten the work of the authorities both in terms of human and financial resources.
