He issued instructions to officers present to address complaints promptly. The commissioner emphasised prioritising the zero waste initiative across all districts under the ‘Clean Punjab’ campaign.
He said: “Municipal authorities were actively engaged in cleaning heaps of garbage from streets, markets, and public places. Likewise, efforts are underway to clean up debris and garbage alongside dividers. Immediate action is being taken to address public complaints and citizens’ feedback was being actively sought.”
