MWMC directed to enhance capacity

Commissioner says those who litter will face strict action

MULTAN: Commissioner Iftikhar Ali Sahu said on Thursday that Multan Waste Management Company (MWMC) would have to enhance the capacity to keep an expanded city area clean.

Commissioner was presiding over a meeting of the MWMC. He asked the MWMC officers to begin the process of recruiting more sanitary workers and other staff to meet the challenge as the metropolitan status for Multan has been decided.

MWMC Chief Officer Nasir Dogar informed the meeting that out of a total of 1600 sanitary workers, 200 were medically unfit adding that the company was going to hire 500 more sanitary workers and 50 drivers.

He said the company was going to establish a workshop and parking area to save resources effectively. Commissioner said that those spreading trash at points other than the containers placed by MWMC should be warned and should face strict action on repeating the violation.
