Environment
Provision of disposal of petroleum products in place i.e. through inspection of pit to avoid unnecessary disposal that affect the growth of plants and soil conservation. Unfortunately, many garages in town and the informal sector lack proper disposal methods. Also washing of cars takes place in water streams resulting in contamination of the streaming water. Although the sub-sector of environment is primarily responsible for this, this department is concerned about this as well.

Gender
