RAWALPINDI, Jul 29 (APP):Commissioner Rawalpindi Division Engineer Aamir Khattak on Tuesday said that the success of the “Suthra Punjab” drive depends on ensuring 100 per cent cleanliness at the village level.
Presiding over a meeting to review the performance of the Suthra Punjab program, he said that the drive was not just a cleaning campaign but a vision and a change in the lifestyle which all have to adopt.
Aamir directed the Deputy Commissioners of the division to submit a one-page assessment report, which should include their feedback and suggestions for further improvement.
The Commissioner further directed that the Village Committees notified by all the Deputy Commissioners should be activated immediately so that effective monitoring of cleanliness and other activities could be made possible.
He gave a clear directive that the scope of the cleaning campaign should not only be restricted to the urban areas but also the rural areas.
At the same time, Union Councils and municipal officers were instructed to launch an awareness campaign among the public so that the citizens could join this program.
He underlined that an office should be allocated in every village and there should be Pana flexes, which include the names, positions and contact numbers of the workers who were deployed for cleaning in this village so that the public can contact them immediately in case of any complaint.
He said that complaints should be lodged against the contractors who fail to perform, and prosecuted to blacklist them.
Director General Rawalpindi Development Authority Kinza Murtaza, Deputy Commissioner Rawalpindi Hassan Waqar Cheema, CEO Rawalpindi Waste Management Company (RWMC), Assistant Commissioners and heads of other concerned departments were present.
