LWMC accelerates anti-smog drive

LAHORE : Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) on Saturday has ramped up its anti-smog campaign to protect citizens from the adverse effects of smog.

Under the guidance of LWMC CEO Babar Sahib Din, the daily water sprinkling process at key city entrances and exits has been intensified. The initiative also included an accelerated schedule of roadside scraping, water sprinkling, and mechanical sweeping throughout the provincial capital.

Mechanical sweeping and scraping operations are underway on major roads to control fugitive dust. Special instructions have been issued to continue intermittent water sprinkling in areas with high Air Quality Index (AQI) levels.

These activities are taking place along prominent roads such as Mall Road, Jail Road, Gulberg, Ferozepur Road, Canal Road, Shimla Pahari, Lahore Press Club, Egerton Road, Kashmir Road, and Queen Mary Road.

The scraping process is being carried out on Multan Road, Bhekewal Mor, Punjab University, Queen Mary Road, Gol Bagh, Shad Bagh, McLeod Road and Allama Iqbal Road. Scraping teams are also actively working on GT Road, Ferozepur Road, Kacha Jail Road, Madar-e-Millat Road, and Raiwind Road.

Meanwhile, the mechanical sweeping continued on Pine Avenue, Adda Plot, Raiwind Road, and Khayaban-e-Ferdowsi.

Babar Sahib Din emphasised that the scraping process will be completed in phases across all towns of Lahore.
