Egypt- Government is bringing out new ideas to avoid any unpleasant incident on the streets, and the first area they have chosen to target is public urination.
Cameras are installed by the government on the streets for a strict check. Signs have been installed to warn people in New Cairo to avoid urinating in public, declaring it indecent and unhygienic.
Area’s governor Ibrahim Saber stayed that this action has been taken to avoid any unhygienic practice and the government has collaborated with different NGO’s and activists to put down such practices.
Anyone seen urinating in public domains, streets, parks , roads or such places will be charged with “committing indecent act”. Breaking the new rule will lead you to six months of jail time with huge fines.
People are appreciating this step taken by the government:
