Belarus Cracks Down on Overgrown Lawns: New Rules Spark Debate

Belarus Tightens Regulations on Grass Height Maintenance: Citizens Face Fines for Overgrown Lawns New regulations in Belarus have imposed stricter rules on maintaining grass height on private properties, leading to concerns and discussions among citizens. The Council of Ministers recently approved updated standards, stipulating that owners must keep their lawns and surrounding areas tidy. Grass exceeding 20 centimeters is subject to significant fines, impacting many homeowners. "They gave me a fine of 10 base units," said one resident featured in a recent viral video, showcasing overgrown grass. "My grass was only slightly over 20cm." Another resident, speaking anonymously, stated, "It's ridiculous. They should focus on more important issues." The fines for non-compliance range up to 25 base units, a considerable sum for many. The new rules aim to improve the overall appearance of residential areas and create a more uniform landscape. While the government's goal is understandable, the implementation and enforcement of these regulations have sparked debate among citizens who feel the fines are excessive and disproportionate to the issue.
