LAHORE:
The Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) has assumed control of cleanliness operations at Lahore Railway Station as part of the provincial government’s Suthra Punjab initiative.
A memorandum of understanding was signed between Pakistan Railways and the LWMC to ensure sustained cleanliness at one of Pakistan’s busiest transport hubs. The agreement aims to provide a hygienic and welcoming environment for the thousands of passengers passing through the station daily.
The signing ceremony was attended by Punjab Local Government Secretary Shakeel Ahmed Mian, LWMC Chief Executive Offcier Babar Sahib Din, and Pakistan Railways CEO Aamir Ali Baloch.
Under the new arrangement, the LWMC will deploy a dedicated team consisting of a manager, five supervisors and 105 sanitation workers operating in three daily shifts to maintain cleanliness throughout the facility.
The scope of work includes platforms, reservation counters, waiting halls, washrooms, parking areas, railway tracks and administrative offices.
Night shift teams will also conduct regular washing of platforms and tracks.
The Pakistan Railways CEO praised LWMC’s performance on Eidul Azha and cited its modern monitoring systems as a key factor behind the decision to outsource the station’s sanitation.
