The Punjab government on Tuesday decided to launch pilot projects of cleanliness drive in six cities of the province in first phase so that a new and comprehensive system with people's awareness could be introduced.
This was disclosed by Punjab Senior Minister Abdul Aleem Khan while presiding over a meeting of Local Bodies Department. He directed the authorities to choose Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Dera Ghazi Khan, Multan, Rawalpindi and Sialkot to design an extensive campaign at union council level to ensure proper collection of waste and ensure healthy environment. He said in educational institutions and public places there should be an organized campaign to create awareness among masses to get maximum participation in this drive.
Abdul Aleem Khan said that he himself would also be visiting these cities to review the arrangements of the local bodies department. "The representatives of local bodies should also be invited to join in this campaign and get 100 percent results of this exercise," he added.
Abdul Aleem Khan told the meeting that after these six districts the same campaign would be started in the remaining districts of Punjab and it would be ensured that there is no compromise in provision of civic facilities to every citizen. In the meeting, the secretary local government and other officers gave detailed briefing on the proposed cleanliness drive and said that the work would be started immediately.
