In line with the Punjab government’s vision for Suthra Punjab, the Lahore Waste Management Company’s (LWMC) operational teams have been actively engaged in the rain. LWMC Chief Executive Officer Babar Sahib Din emphasised that, alongside cleaning operations, maintaining proper drainage was a priority during the rain. LWMC waste containers were routinely cleared, and special instructions were given to remove shopping bags and wrappers from roads to facilitate water flow. Cleaning teams were active on Circular Road, Fort Road, Azam Cloth Market, and Azadi Chowk. The clearance process also continued on Noor Jahan Road, Liberty Market, Main Boulevard Gulberg, and MM Alam Road. Additionally, cleaning operations were conducted at Shadman Market, Aiwan-e-Tijarat, Beadon Road Bazar, Lakshmi Chowk, Temple Road, and other locations to ensure proper drainage of water.
Efforts were also focused on maintaining cleanliness on Mall Road, Jail Road, Alhamra, Governor House, and nearby areas. All town managers were instructed to ensure 100% attendance of field workers. CEO Babar Sahib Din highlighted the important role of citizens in keeping drainage systems functional, urging the public to support sanitation efforts by handing over garbage to LWMC staff rather than disposing of it in the streets. Citizens can report cleanliness-related issues by contacting the LWMC helpline at 1139 or through social media.
