A spokesman for the agency said on Friday that there are about 85,000 manholes in Faisalabad city. A number of manholes had been choked and were creating problems for people in different parts of the city.

Therefore, a campaign has been launched in this regard in the city. Silt has been removed from Mattopura channel in Johar Colony and other localities and the operation would be completed before monsoon, he added.
