CHINIOT, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Apr, 2026) The district administration has stepped up its anti-littering campaign, taking strict action against violators in a bid to improve sanitation and public health across the city. As part of the intensified drive, two shops were sealed on Monday on Jhang Road in Bhowana for dumping garbage on the roadside.

ADCG Wasiq Abbas Haral led the operation, conducting inspections in various areas of Bhowana and ordering immediate action against those found flouting cleanliness regulations. Officials said several shopkeepers were also issued warnings for disposing of waste improperly outside their premises.

Speaking on the occasion, Haral underscored the administration’s zero-tolerance policy, stating that not only fines but also sealing of shops would be enforced against repeat offenders.
