Dirt, sewage not removed despite direction

LAHORE: Locals are suffering due to inaction on the part of authorities concerned regarding removing dirt and sewage from the Rizvia Road despite orders of the offices of Punjab Ombudsman and Punjab Chief Minister complaint cell.

Locals of Mehmood Colony Tehsil Ferozewala filed pleas with the offices of the CM’s Complaint Cell and Punjab Ombudsman seeking directions to remove garbage from Rizvia Road. Reportedly, despite directions issued by the CM Complaint Cell and the Punjab Ombudsman for Deputy Commissioner Sheikhupura and Chief Officer, no action has been taken so far to clear the road from garbage that is on the road since the last six years. The Punjab Ombudsman issued directions to the DC twice and four months ago, the DC visited the road on the instructions of the Lahore Commissioner and promised to clean it soon.
