In the article entitled ‘Probe into boats dumping sewage’, which appeared on September 4, it was wrongly reported that 156,680 tons of plastic or polystyrene, including plastic bottles, were collected through civic amenity sites in 2012. In fact, it should have been 156,680 kilos not tons. The volume rose to 175,302 kilos, not tons, last year.
The error is regretted.
