LAHORE, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 5th Apr, 2025) In line with Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s vision for a cleaner and more livable Lahore, Deputy Commissioner Syed Musa Raza has intensified his tehsil-wise field inspections under the ongoing Clean Mission.

As part of the campaign, he visited various locations in Wahga Town to assess sanitation conditions and review on-ground implementation of cleanliness measures.

AC Wahga briefed the DC on the sanitation mechanism and operations in the area. During the visit, the DC expressed displeasure over the presence of garbage at certain points and issued strict instructions to Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) officials. “LWMC authorities must clear identified garbage points on a priority basis and ensure such negligence is not repeated,” he warned.

The DC also engaged with local residents to discuss the sanitation situation. The citizens appreciated the improved cleanliness arrangements and acknowledged the efforts of DC Lahore and LWMC workers.

He instructed MCL to continue indiscriminate operations against encroachments across the city. “Not even an inch of encroachment will be tolerated,” he stated clearly. He further emphasized that administrative officers must remain active in the field and closely monitor performance of field teams to ensure visible results.

DC Syed Musa Raza said that efforts are in full swing to fulfill Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s vision of a cleaner, well-maintained Lahore.
