He rushed to the scene and caught the offender red-handed. Upon investigation, the man was identified as Anbu, a resident of Netaji Nagar. Subsequently, a fine of Rs 2000 was imposed on him for the offense.

The public and social activists who witnessed the incident praised the swift action taken by the corporation officials. They urged the authorities to continue taking appropriate measures against individuals who dump garbage indiscriminately in public places.

This incident serves as a reminder to the citizens of Coimbatore about the importance of proper waste disposal and the consequences of violating municipal regulations.
