LG minister directs strict anti-littering, anti-smog measures

LAHORE  –  Punjab Local Government Minister Zeeshan Rafiq has directed officials to intensify anti-littering inspections and implement effective anti-smog measures across various tehsils. Chairing a meeting at the Suthra Pun­jab Authority office, he directed Field Monitoring Officers (FMOs) to ensure their presence in Union Councils and stressed compliance with the Envi­ronment Department’s instructions to combat smog. Secretary Local Gov­ernment Zaid bin Maqsood and DG Suthra Punjab Authority Umar Javed attended the meeting, while commis­sioners and managing directors from Multan, Gujranwala, Dera Ghazi Khan and Faisalabad participated via video link. Officials were briefed on waste collection points, waste enclosures and the ongoing geospatial mapping of Union Councils. The minister said the movement of loader rickshaws would be digitally monitored in each beat. He directed officials to promptly shift waste from temporary collec­tion points to dumping sites, report crop-burning incidents to the assis­tant commissioner and use mechani­cal sweepers instead of manual road cleaning during the smog season.
