WSSP finalises sanitation plan for Eid ul Azha

PESHAWAR: Water and Sanitation Services Peshawar (WSSP) has finalised a three-day Eidul Azha sanitation operation plan for 43 urban union councils of the provincial capital.

The plan was finalised at a meeting with Chief Executive Officer Dr Hassan Nasir in the chair. As per the plan, 2602 sanitary workers would be on duty on the first day of Eidul Azha.

A communique said the company would collect offal through 566 vehicles, including 310 of WSSP and 253 private vehicles. “It would be the biggest sanitation operation of the year in which 10500 tonnes of waste is expected to be produced within 3 days of Eid,” it added.

A week earlier, a massive awareness campaign was launched in the provincial metropolis to sensitise masses about cleaning the surroundings and disposing offal at the designated location.

All zonal managers have finalised temporary transfer stations where the waste would be collected from narrow streets and congested residential localities and then taken to Shamshato dumping site, some 22 km away from the city.

The waste would be fumigated and powder lime will be used before covering it with soil at the dumping site and in transfer stations.

Monitoring teams supervised by the Chief Executive Officer WSSP Dr. Hassan Nasir comprising general managers, zonal managers, managers and assistant managers have been constituted for effective execution of the plan.
