"Install CCTV cameras," wrote kalaidheanaleksandr.

"We need a 'show case'. Find them on camera, expose the culprits, impose a fine, and it will be a lesson to others," says laura_pasan.

"We need to install cameras everywhere and impose severe penalties. And show them to the entire republic, so that they are ashamed," noted svetapachulia.

"Fine "and punish. Without this, it's all just talk," emphasized user v_sukhum_.

"I was walking through the Park of Glory in the summer, and there were sunflower seed husks all over the place near the bench. I doubt it was tourists. It's the Park of Glory, let alone the embankment. It would be a good idea to introduce community service as a punishment in Abkhazia," suggested kvaratskheliyam.

"Strict punishment. Legislative, let them impose an exorbitant fine on anyone caught doing this. Parents should keep a close eye on their children. Their children are committing such acts of vandalism. It's truly not just offensive, but I want to take strict measures," noted khanifa_tsvizhba.

"This is usually what parents, the school, and ultimately, their conscience should say." "In the end. We need to teach respect and love. Everything is said correctly, pay close attention and have a conversation with your children," wrote user teka1974.

"Our city was once recognized as the cleanest in the USSR. In honor of this, we were given the very clock that still adorns our city hall, but today we are faced with a basic disrespect for the work of others and a boorish attitude toward the capital's landmarks," noted user gogia_nino.

"Caucasian Knot" also wrote that residents of Abkhazia periodically complain about problems with infrastructure, electricity, and water supplies. In particular, on June 14, residents of the village of Naush in the Gulripsh district complained that their village has had no water supply for eight years, and appeals to the authorities have not yielded results.
