Taking serious notice of garbage dumped at open plots, Muhammad Atif Sandhu directed the concerned authorities to issue notices to property owners and ensure immediate cleaning and fencing of the plots. He further instructed that all open plots be identified as sanitation hotspots, geo-tagged and included in a comprehensive list, with plots located along major roads to be cleared on a priority basis.
