- Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) initiates citywide cleanup.
- Over 800 workers and 140 vehicles mobilized for the effort.
- Focused operations in Data Ganj Bakhsh Town and historic Walled City.
Under the directive of Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) has launched a comprehensive citywide cleanup operation. This initiative spans all nine towns of Lahore, aiming to enhance the city’s aesthetic appeal. More than 800 workers and 140 operational vehicles have been mobilized, with a focused effort currently underway in Data Ganj Bakhsh Town.
LWMC Chief Executive Officer Babar Sahib Din emphasized the implementation of special cleaning measures across both urban and rural union councils. Manual sweeping and scraping activities have been intensified in the historic Walled City, while the Bhati Gate waste enclosure is managed as a zero-waste facility daily.
Spokesperson Umar Chaudhry highlighted that LWMC’s operation teams have ramped up cleanliness efforts at key areas such as Mochi Gate, Bhati Chowk, Data Darbar, and adjacent roads. Mechanical sweeping and washing operations are conducted around the clock to maintain the city’s cleanliness standards. Every street and neighborhood is targeted for zero-waste practices, and rural union councils benefit from systematic waste clearance using tractor-trolleys. Vacuum sweeping operations further support the zero-waste strategy across Lahore.
CEO Babar Sahib Din urged citizens to use LWMC’s helpline 1139 or social media channels for addressing cleanliness concerns and providing suggestions.
