The National Water Resource Authority (NWRA) has issued a fine of K4 million to Universal Industries Limited(UIL) for unlawful discharging of waste matter into Malangalanga Stream, a tributary of Lilongwe river.

In an interview with local media, Masozi Kasambala, the Public Relations Officer of NWRA, confirmed the imposition of the fine on Universal Industries Limited.
According to Kasambala, the company is required to pay the fine to the Authority by August 10, 2023.

Meanwhile, Universal Industries Limited officials are yet to respond on the matter.
