Punjab CM orders improved sanitation

Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar paid a surprise visit to several areas of the provincial metropolis late on Saturday night and inspected the civic amenities, including sanitation.

He directed the authorities concerned to improve the sanitation arrangements in the city.

The chief minister visited Jail Road, Ferozpur Road, Gulberg, Liberty and other areas while driving his vehicle himself without protocol. He expressed displeasure over out-of-order street-lights in Gulberg and some other areas and reprimanded the authorities concerned. Buzdar ordered initiation of action against the staff over negligence and ordered measures for keeping the street-lights functional in the city. He said his visit to various areas of Lahore at night was aimed at reviewing the problems of the city.

He issued instructions to the authorities concerned over the poor sanitation in some areas. He said there is no space for officials not discharging their duties wholeheartedly. The CM said the officers would be encouraged who work hard to solve people’s problems. He said surprise visits helped a lot to get firsthand knowledge of people’s problems. “I will continue making such visits in the future for solving problems of the city,” Chief Minister Buzdar said.
