LAHORE : Minister for Railways M Hanif Abbasi has announced a major initiative to improve sanitation at railway stations across the country by outsourcing cleanliness operations to waste management companies.

As a first step, the cleanliness responsibilities at Rawalpindi Railway Station have already been transferred to a local waste management company. In the initial phase, the railway stations in Multan, Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Khanewal will also be handed over to respective waste management firms.
