Punjab Minister for Local Government & Community Development (LG&CD) Zeeshan Rafique visited the control rooms of the Local Government Department and Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) established for Eid-ul-Azha cleanliness here.
LG&CD Secretary Rizwan Nazir and CEO LWMC Babar Sahib Din briefed the minister on the cleanliness plan. Minister Zeeshan Rafique emphasized that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif had mandated zero waste during Eid days. “Steps are being taken with the vision of the chief minister for a clean Punjab,” he stated. The Local Government Department will distribute 3.2 million eco-friendly bags for collecting animal offals, with teams continuously working in the field to dispose of the remains. The minister noted that the entire province, including Lahore, was being monitored from the control rooms and appealed to citizens to cooperate with municipal staff.
