LAHORE: The Lahore Waste Management Corporation (LWMC) has intensified its efforts to make the provincial capital dust-free and combat air pollution.

As per the details shared by the LWMC on Monday, 79 selected roads witnessed continued washing and sweeping. District Commissioner Lahore DC Rafia Haider and LWMC CEO Babar Sahib Din supervised cleaning operation and visited Shimla Pahari and Club Chowk to inspect the operation.

The LWMC operation teams working in two shifts completed the washing of over 200km of roads alongside mechanical sweeping covering more than 900km. A fleet of 18 mechanical washers, 12 mechanical sweepers and 40 tractor sweepers were deployed for special washing activities.
