LAHORE: Punjab Minister for Local Government and Community Development (LG&CD) Zeeshan Rafique has said the sanitation system in the province is going to be outsourced.

Like the ideal cleaning plan on Eid-ul-Azha days, the outsourcing model under supervision of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif will also be successful, he added.

Presiding over a video-link meeting of the chief executive officers (CEOs) of the waste management companies across the province, held at the Civil Secretariat, here on Saturday, he said after outsourcing of the cleanliness system, the government responsibility will not end but increase on the contrary.

“Outsourcing process at all levels will be strictly monitored,” he added. LG&CD Secretary Shakeel Ahmad Mian, Special Secretary Asia Gul and CEO of Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) Babar Sahib Din also attended the meeting.
