LAHORE:<\/strong> Punjab Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb<\/strong> has announced that more than 376,000 tons of animal waste and offal<\/strong> were collected and disposed of across Punjab during Eid-ul-Adha, while every worker participating in the Suthra Punjab<\/strong> sanitation campaign will receive a Rs10,000 cash reward<\/strong> in recognition of their services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at a press conference in Lahore alongside Punjab Local Government Minister Zeeshan Rafique<\/strong>, Aurangzeb praised sanitation teams for what she described as a highly successful cleanliness operation conducted during the Eid holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massive Eid Cleanliness Operation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the senior minister, the province-wide sanitation drive resulted in the disposal of more than 376,000 tons of animal remains and waste<\/strong>, making it one of the largest Eid cleanliness operations carried out in Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the operation was organized under the Suthra Punjab Authority<\/strong>, which coordinated waste collection, transportation, and disposal activities across urban and rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities worked throughout the Eid holidays to ensure that streets, neighborhoods, markets, and public spaces remained clean and hygienic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Than 184,000 Workers Participated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Marriyum Aurangzeb stated that over 184,000 sanitation workers<\/strong> took part in the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These workers were deployed across the province to manage the large volume of waste generated during Eid-ul-Adha, when millions of sacrificial animals are slaughtered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To acknowledge their efforts, the Punjab government has decided to award Rs10,000 to each worker<\/strong> involved in the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She described the sanitation staff as the backbone of the campaign and credited them for the success of the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use of Drones and Modern Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aurangzeb highlighted that modern monitoring methods were employed for the first time on a large scale during the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to her, authorities utilized:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Drones<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Digital monitoring systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Modern tracking mechanisms<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Real-time reporting tools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    These technologies helped officials supervise sanitation activities, identify problem areas quickly, and improve operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She said the use of technology contributed significantly to maintaining cleanliness standards during the busy Eid period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cSuthra Punjab\u201d Became a Top Social Media Trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The minister claimed that the Suthra Punjab Program<\/strong> emerged as one of the top social media trends in Pakistan during Eid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She said citizens actively shared images and videos of cleanliness efforts, helping raise public awareness and appreciation for sanitation workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The positive public response, she added, demonstrated growing confidence in the province\u2019s cleanliness initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Monitoring of Cattle Markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to post-sacrifice waste management, authorities also focused on cleanliness and supervision in cattle markets established before Eid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aurangzeb said arrangements were made to ensure proper sanitation, waste disposal, and public convenience at livestock markets across Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The goal was to maintain hygiene standards before, during, and after the Eid celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Praise for Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    During the press conference, Aurangzeb also praised Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz<\/strong>, stating that she remained engaged with the sanitation operation despite undergoing surgery during the Eid holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to the minister, Maryam Nawaz continued to monitor the cleanliness campaign and public service delivery even while recovering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aurangzeb said that after leaving the intensive care unit, the chief minister\u2019s first concern was the welfare of citizens and the effectiveness of the sanitation operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She added that the surgery was successful and that the chief minister\u2019s health had improved significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The minister also dismissed speculation regarding overseas medical treatment, stating that Maryam Nawaz would not be traveling abroad for healthcare purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Call for Similar Services Across Pakistan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Aurangzeb expressed the view that citizens in other provinces should also benefit from comparable sanitation services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Referring to Karachi, she said that residents there also deserve efficient cleanliness systems and public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    She emphasized that when one province introduces a successful initiative, other provinces should study and adopt similar best practices for the benefit of the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Plans for Union Council-Level Slaughterhouses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Looking ahead, the minister announced that the Local Government Department has been instructed to prepare plans for the establishment of slaughterhouses at the union council level<\/strong> before next year\u2019s Eid-ul-Adha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The initiative aims to improve waste management, hygiene standards, and public convenience during future sacrificial animal operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Officials believe that dedicated slaughter facilities could help streamline sanitation efforts and reduce environmental and health concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Punjab government has declared this year\u2019s Eid-ul-Adha cleanliness campaign a success, citing the disposal of more than 376,000 tons of waste<\/strong>, participation by 184,000 sanitation workers<\/strong>, and the use of modern monitoring technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
