Besides, dirt was also accumulated in China Scheme, Shalimar Bagh, Garhi Shahu and Anarkali areas.
Al-Buraq’s drivers, supervisors and sanitation workers are on strike due to non-payment of salaries, which has led to piles of rubbish in the city.
CEO LWMC Imran Sultan, while acknowledging the accumulation of garbage in the city, said that the workers should be paid their salaries and the strike would be called off soon. In five days, the city will be reduced to zero waste.
