LAHORE:The Suthra Punjab Agency Lahore (SPAL) sanitation teams remained active in Ravi Town and nearby areas as part of ongoing efforts to maintain city’s cleanliness.

A total of 254 operational vehicles and over 1,900 sanitation workers and officers were deployed across three shifts in the town under the directives of SPAL DG Babar Sahib Din. Additionally, 347 loader rickshaws were assigned to ensure door-to-door waste collection throughout Ravi Town.

Sanitation staff carried out waste clearance and manual sweeping in Latif Chowk, Begum Kot, Shama Colony and Baradari under special cleanliness arrangements. Furthermore, clearance operations were ensured at 17 identified hotspots and vacant plots, including Bhutto Colony, Shahdara Town Bus Stop, Haji Kot and Kala Khatai Road.

The SPAL DG stated that practical measures are being implemented under CM Punjab’s vision of a ‘Suthra Punjab’ to gradually transform all towns into zero-waste zones. He emphasised that providing citizens with a clean and healthy environment remains the top priority. The citizens have also been urged to report sanitation-related complaints through the Suthra Punjab helpline 1139 or via social media platforms for prompt resolution.
