LAHORE: In a bid to keep city clean and facilitate the citizens during ‘rainy’ Eid days, the Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) has called off holidays of its all field staff including senior officials.
The field staff will observe Eid remaining alert in the field in three equal shifts. A zero waste operation will be carried out on chand raat in Ramazan Bazaars and city’s major commercial markets.
Special cleanliness arrangements will be made for Eid prayers at mosques and eid gaahs and lime will be applied to adjacent roads to give them a neat and clean look. Installation of some 300 customized waste bins in the markets is already in process which will be completed a day before Eid.
LWMC Managing Director Khalid Majeed held separate meetings with administration of Turkish companies Albayrak and Ozpak and has instructed them to ensure provision of resources for the effective implementation of Eid Plan.
In order to wish Lahorites the delights of big day and to sensitize them on their responsibilities towards maintenance of clean environment, awareness raising campaigns will be carried out at SOS village, Lahore Zoo, Jillani Park and Lahore Fort. Models camps will be setup at Badshahi Mosque, Masjid Wazeer Khan, Jamia Naeemia, Jamia Ashrafia and Masjid-e-Shuhda to effectively disseminate the word of cleanliness by the mouth of Ulema–e Ikram.
