According to a spokesperson for the ‘Suthra Punjab’ campaign, over 110,000 tons of offal and animal remains were collected and disposed of across the province during the first two days of Eid, with more than 17,000 tons collected from Lahore alone. Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari stated that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is personally monitoring the operation, which involves 184,000 sanitation workers. Following the collection of waste, streets and neighbourhoods are being washed with rose water.
