DC directs RWMC to strengthen sanitation monitoring, improve rural sanitation
RAWALPINDI, Jul 14 (APP): Deputy Commissioner (DC) Rawalpindi, Captain (Retd) Nadeem Nasir, on Tuesday directed the Rawalpindi Waste Management Company (RWMC) to further strengthen monitoring of sanitation operations, ensure accountability for negligence without discrimination and improve cleanliness standards in rural areas.
He issued the directives while chairing a meeting during his visit to the RWMC head office.
Managing Director Suthra Punjab Agency(SPA), Rawalpindi and Chief Executive Officer RWMC Rana Sajid Safdar gave a detailed briefing on the company’s sanitation operations, field monitoring, fleet management, public awareness campaigns, digital systems and administrative affairs.
He informed the meeting that more than 3,772 sanitation workers were maintaining cleanliness across Rawalpindi in two shifts, while over 1,000 tons of municipal waste were collected and transported daily through a fleet of more than 376 operational vehicles.
Later, the DC visited the RWMC Control Room, where he was briefed on the digital monitoring system for sanitation operations, workforce tracking, attendance management, fleet monitoring and other operational mechanisms.
Captain (Retd) Nadeem Nasir, who is also the Chairman of RWMC, directed the management to make the monitoring mechanism more effective by introducing a modern tracking system for sanitation workers, conducting a comprehensive survey of waste heaps across the city, preparing updated data on all waste containers and obtaining the required certification after completion of the surveys.
He stressed that negligence and poor performance should be addressed through an effective accountability system, while special attention should be given to improving sanitation standards in rural areas.
Appreciating the performance of RWMC, the DC said the organisation was delivering efficient services due to its experienced workforce. He added that the timely and transparent payment of employees’ salaries reflected the company’s sound administrative management.
CEO Rana Sajid Safdar assured the deputy commissioner that all directives would be implemented within the stipulated timeframe. He reaffirmed RWMC’s commitment to using modern technology, effective monitoring and transparent management practices to make Rawalpindi a cleaner, greener and model city.
