These will be sanctioned with a fine, and the vehicle may be immobilised and removed to the Municipal Police park, in case of refusal to present respective documentation,\u201d Cuna warned.<\/p>\n<p>The fine for noise pollution is 10,000 meticais, rising to 30,000 for repeat offenses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/livenews488\/posts\/pfbid023YoTNVcW2d4MJytUzNmNUcbRMZPabzs6Ts9JaSzQNvNNWC2dg5asuwJVD45NjkWsl\">Facebook Post click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
