Fine for field waste. What a drastic sanction the Environmental Guard dictated

A fine of 50,000 lei was given. Everything happened in Constanța county, where the Environmental Guard detected a town hall that did not pick up the waste from several plots of land.

The respective waste was stored illegally on those lands within the radius of the Bărăganu commune. There had been previous checks by the Constanța Environmental Guard, and the Bărăganu City Hall had the obligation to clean the respective waste lands.
