He said dumpers had been causing serious losses of human lives and properties for a long time. He said that he had paid special attention to the issue after taking over charge as the DPO and ordered stern action against the violators of the law.

Faisal Kamran said that 13 people had died in accidents involving dumpers so far.

The number of deaths was reduced due to solid and practical steps taken by the administration.
