Comprehensive cleaning plan for Eid finalised

LAHORE : An important operational meeting was convened under the leadership of LWMC CEO Babar Sahib Din at the LWMC Head Office, Shaheen Complex on Saturday to ensure an enhanced cleanliness experience for citizens during Eid-ul-Fitr. During the meeting, the comprehensive cleaning plan for Eid-ul-Fitr 2025 was reviewed and finalised.

LWMC CEO Babar Sahib Din received a detailed briefing on the special sanitation measures that will be implemented from March 31 through the second day of Eid. The briefing highlighted the deployment of over 15,000 workers and more than 1,400 operational vehicles to support the cleaning operations.

These resources will be utilised across both day and night shifts to ensure uninterrupted cleanliness services during the Eid period. Key measures include the cleaning and washing of 1,459 mosques and Eidgahs, along with the commencement of cleaning operations in the city’s 268 graveyards. As part of the Chand Raat operation, 197 major commercial markets will undergo a ‘zero waste’ clean-up, and mechanical street sweeping will be carried out along Lahore’s 930 kilometers of roadways. Additionally, water sprinkling will be carried out on roads surrounding mosques, Eidgahs, and graveyard access routes to ensure a dust-free environment. LWMC will also prioritize the cleaning of over 45 large Iftar setups during the month of Ramadan to maintain a hygienic environment.

In line with these efforts, LWMC CEO has issued strict instructions to monitor and address complaints related to solid waste every 30 minutes, while complaints from commercial markets will be resolved within a 10-minute timeframe. Citizens are encouraged to report any cleanliness-related concerns by calling the LWMC helpline at 1139.
