Rawalpindi: Residents of Dhoke Khabba and Amarpura are facing worsening sanitation conditions as heaps of garbage, foul odour and an increase in flies and mosquitoes have created serious difficulties in the affected localities.<\/p>\n
The issue has been reported in Union Council 43 Dhoke Khabba and Union Council 32 Amarpura, where waste has allegedly piled up at different points, causing inconvenience to citizens and raising concerns about possible health risks.<\/p>\n
The Pakistan Citizen Rights Movement has criticised the performance of the Suthra Punjab programme and announced a protest campaign over the situation. The organisation said citizens had lodged repeated complaints and shared Google Maps pin locations, photographs and videos, but no visible improvement had taken place.<\/p>\n
According to the movement, the relevant operational manager, assistant manager, sanitation chief, inspectors and supervisors of Suthra Punjab had failed to ensure effective cleanliness arrangements in the affected areas.<\/p>\n
Pakistan Citizen Rights Movement Chairman Zaheer Ahmed Awan expressed concern over the state of sanitation in the localities. He said citizens were paying taxes but were being compelled to live amid garbage, stench and unhygienic conditions that could endanger their health.<\/p>\n
Awan announced that the movement would launch a protest campaign titled \u201cClean the City\u201d against what he termed the poor performance of Suthra Punjab.<\/p>\n
He appealed to the Punjab chief minister and senior government officials to take immediate notice of the matter, fix responsibility on the officers concerned and ensure proper cleaning in Dhoke Khabba and Amarpura.<\/p>\n
Awan said the movement would continue its struggle until Rawalpindi was cleaned and residents were provided the basic sanitation services they deserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
