Punjab CM Mandates Shift to Self-Operation for City Waste Management
What happened
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz directed that several cities in Punjab, including Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Multan, shift to self-operation for waste management. This decision was made after a review of the Suthra Punjab programme, which found that solid waste management companies had performed unsatisfactorily.

Why it matters
The directive represents a major regulatory shift, moving waste management operations from private contracts to municipal self-operation in these urban centers. Furthermore, Maryam Nawaz ordered the imposition of fines for littering and mandated timely payment of salaries for sanitation workers.
