Chairing another meeting, Chef Minister Maryam Nawaz rejected a proposal to impose sanitation tax on farmers. However, she agreed to a proposal to outsource the sanitation system in the province.
She sought a detailed plan for the construction of 23 landfill sites and called for the installation of waste segregation plants in every division.
“Apart from a new sanitation system, up to 125,000 jobs will also be created,” she stressed.
A proposal to form local community committees to ensure the provision of sanitation facilities, along with setting up waste management companies in Sahiwal and Sargodha were given a go-ahead in the meeting.
“During my visit to Lahore, many streets were difficult to pass through due to accumulated mud and dirt,” the CM said.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said while addressing the launching ceremony of the Punjab Rider Safety Initiative aimed at providing personal protective equipment to delivery riders that the labour laws were being amended and companies that did not care about the health and safety of their employees would be fined.
