Rawalpindi was never so clean,,, thanks to CM visit!
Khalid Iqbal
Hundreds of sanitary workers and other staff members of the local administration remained busy in cleaning the city here on Friday. The occasion was the visit of Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif to the city for laying the foundation stone of the Elevated Expressway.

The Benazir Bhutto Road was decorated with colourful banners and posters of Mian Shahbaz Sharif. All open manholes, which had been lurking danger for pedestrians and motorcyclists, were also covered for the occasion. Sanitary workers, both male and female, remained busy in cleaning Benazir Bhutto Road, Liaquat Bagh and Shamsabad throughout the day.

The out-of-order streetlights along Benazir Bhutto Road were replaced and the local administration staff watered plants along roads.

Traffic wardens were on their toes at all busy intersections.

People interviewed by ‘The News’ said that the local administration only shows efficiency whenever a VVIP comes to the city otherwise they do not bother at all. “People like the chief minister should visit the city often so that we can have a clean and properly maintained city,” they said.

On the other hand, security remained on high alert and contingents of police remained deputed along Benazir Bhutto Road and important buildings in the city. The PML-N workers were thoroughly checked before entry to the University of Arid Agriculture for attending the function. Police did not allow any heavy vehicle to enter the city and stopped them at Koral and Soan bridges during the chief minister’s stay in Rawalpindi.
