A cleanliness drive was carried out under the “Clean Punjab” program by the Faisalabad Waste Management Company (FWMC), clearing 14,632 tons of waste from all four districts over the three days of Eid.
FWMC CEO Rauf Ahmed supervised the field officers and staff, ensuring uninterrupted cleanliness services during the holidays. Waste collection figures stood at 5,251 tons on the first day, 4,861 tons on the second day and 4,520 tons on the third day, with all waste transferred to the designated landfill site.
For the first time, the Eid cleanliness operation extended beyond urban areas to rural regions, covering mosques, Eidgahs, and graveyards, which were maintained through water sprinkling and lime disposal.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner Captain (retd) Nadeem Nasir visited the District Jail, Old Age Home and Children’s Hospital on the first day of Eid and distributed gifts and sweets among prisoners, elderly persons and hospitalised children.
At the Children’s Hospital, the DC inspected staff attendance, ensuring medical personnel were present and attentive to patients.
He also reviewed the quality of meals provided to inmates at the District Jail.
Addressing the elderly at an old age home, the DC assured them of the district administration’s commitment to their well-being, promising continued efforts to provide the best possible facilities.
