ABBOTTABAD:The district administration has launched a special cleanliness and beautification campaign to improve the city’s entry points, with the first phase covering the Karakoram Highway from Abbottabad Interchange to Fawara Chowk.
The campaign has been initiated in line with the vision of the Chief Secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the directives of the Commissioner Hazara Division to improve the city’s appearance, ensure better sanitation and provide a cleaner environment for residents.
Under the initiative, WASA Abbottabad, the Tehsil Municipal Administration (TMA) and the Local Government sanitation staff will carry out special cleaning operations along the highway. The drive will include the removal of garbage, relocation of waste collection points away from residential areas to designated sites, cleaning of major drains and removal of construction debris, wild grass and bushes from roadsides and public places.
The National Highway Authority (NHA) will repair damaged road sections and carry out patchwork to improve road conditions and traffic flow. The campaign will also include painting and renovation of walls along the main highway to enhance the overall appearance of the city’s entry route.
Deputy Commissioner Abbottabad has directed all relevant departments to ensure timely implementation of the planned measures through coordinated efforts.
He also instructed the departments to maintain cleanliness and beautification on a sustainable basis. Following the completion of the first phase, the campaign will be extended to other parts of the city.
