The Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) disposed record breaking more than 44,000 tons of animal waste, particularly offal, during three days of Eidul-Azha. Operation was backed by day and night working of more than 15,000 sanitary workers, a total of 2000 machinery, including pickups and on toe support of Turkish Contractor Companies, i.e. Albayrak and Ozpak, said a spokesperson of LWMC here on Friday.
LWMC devised a comprehensive strategy to effectively collect and dispose of more than 44,000 tons of animal waste. They had distributed 2.1 million waste bags, which were distributed among masses at Eid camps, model camps, shops, mosques and during door-to-door campaigns. Strategy also focused on swift and timely lifting of animal waste from streets engaging additional pickups and transportation of waste firstly to 116 temporary waste collection and transfer stations and later on to dump sites.
Animal waste was dumped at specially established dumping points in an environment friendly manner covering it with soil and lime. Special arrangements were made at major slaughter houses by deploying workers and machinery there. LWMC had finalized three dumping sites prior to lifting of animal waste to avoid any delay in the dumping process.
All animal waste was dumped in an environment friendly manner with proper soil and lime cover. On the concluding day of Eid operation, LWMC also mechanically washed more than 65 collective sacrifice points followed by more than 200 mosques and cattle markets. Meanwhile, in response to the statements made by the Mayor Lahore regarding cleanliness situation in the city, LWMC Chairman Anwarul Haq (retd) and LWMC MD Farrukh Butt held a press Conference.
They said that the Mayor's negative comments have demoralized the workers working in the field and left a very bad impression. "Cleanliness operation was affected by rain at Shalimar Town, which came to its
normal speed right after the rain. The Mayor is respected by all, but such comments are not commendable where 15,000 workers are performing day and night to ensure best cleanliness services," they added.
Also, as per the instructions of LWMC Chairman Anwarul Haq, LWMC MD Farrukh Butt suspended four officials over poor performance in their respective areas. GM Operation Sohail Anwar Malik stated that especially during Eid operation LWMC is known for no/zero tolerance. "We all are working as a team to provide a clean environment to the citizens of Lahore," he added. Film and TV star Afzal khan (Jan Rambo) also took part in LWMC activities during the from Eid holidays. He visited various camps of LWMC and distributed waste bags among public.
