He advised the market administration to improve cleanliness arrangements and warned that he would visit again soon to review the situation and stern action would be taken against shopkeepers for violating SOPs.

He said his mission was to make Lahore City clean as the biggest city of Punjab and in the past 57 percent funds were spent on Lahore but condition of the markets was not satisfactory; therefore, we all have to do lot of work for our children.
