LAHORE: Punjab senior Minister Abdul Aleem Khan has said the Local Government Department will undertake a comprehensive operation in the coming cleanliness and anti-encroachments campaigns in all nine divisional headquarters.
The minister said drive for planting thousands of trees would also be launched. He said this while chairing a meeting in which it was decided that the attached and administrative departments would also be taken on board for the campaign.
Abdul Aleem Khan said on the directions of Prime Minister Imran Khan no one would be given any margin and any building constructed illegally would be demolished. Poor and common men are not our target and we would hit the mafias who have extended their houses and buildings without any lawful permission, the minister added.

Abdul Aleem Khan said he himself would visit different cities in cleanliness and anti-encroachments drive while the CM will also be there on this occasion.
Meanwhile, the senior minister met Mian Manzoor Ahmed Wattoo and discussed political situation and exchanged views on matters of mutual interest. In meeting by-elections of NA 103 came under discussion. Khuram Jehangir Wattoo and notables of Tandiawala were present who congratulated Abdul Aleem Khan on holding the office of senior minister.
