LAHORE, Dec 31 (APP): Special Assistant to Punjab Chief Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has said that Punjab government under the leadership of Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar will ensure proper cleanliness in the provincial capital besides cleaning political mess.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, she said that former Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif had made cleanliness related agreements with foreign companies just to meet his personal motives. She said that today the contract with Albayrak and Ozpak had come to an end and added that unfortunately both companies had stopped working from December 10.
SACM said that the government is preparing alternate planning for ensuring smooth cleanliness in the metropolis. Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said that for the cleanliness of nine zones of Lahore, contracts would be made with local contractors. She said that new agreements through open bidding would be made in the Pakistani currency instead of the dollar.
Dr Firdous said that currently cleanliness work of Lahore is costing Rs 14 billion annually and with the steps of the Punjab government, the work would be done at a cost of Rs 9 billion and hence Rs 5 billion would be saved annually.
