Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has said that all decisions made in the cabinet meeting are for the welfare and betterment of the people of the province.

The cabinet has approved the recruitment of primary school teachers in Ubaro. A decision has also been taken to take legal action against those who throw garbage on roads.

Addressing a press conference after the Cabinet meeting, the senior minister said the Sindh government spends billions of rupees on solid waste management.

People throw garbage from their homes onto the roads, which causes blockage of roads, drainage systems, and other problems. Therefore, it has been decided to arrest those who throw garbage on roads.

The minister said that the cabinet has also decided to launch an e-logistics portal and provide e-payment facilities. At least 16 out of 48 departments in the province will be digitalized, and all their work will be computerized, which will ensure transparency in the departments, he said.
