Assistant commissioners have been told to ensure full enforcement of anti-corruption rules. Officials added that steps are being taken to improve the system, increase transparency, and make departments corruption-free.
Citywide Dengue Prevention Drive Underway
The district administration is also running a dengue control campaign across Lahore. Teams are checking houses, graveyards, and other high-risk places for dengue larvae. Assistant commissioners and special teams are on the ground daily.
If larvae are found, spray is carried out not just at the affected house but in ten nearby houses as well, to stop the spread. All departments have been directed to work together to clean possible breeding spots and improve public health in the city.
