Dozens of clogged manholes were cleared during the operation.
Khalid Raza Khan has instructed Deputy Directors to intensify the cleaning drive and ensure the safety of workers. “Our goal is to maintain a robust sewerage system that meets the needs of every resident, and we will continue to enhance these operations,” he affirmed.
Meanwhile, repair work on damaged manholes is also in progress, ensuring a sustainable improvement in sewerage infrastructure citywide, he concluded.
