ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan will inaugurate today a countrywide cleanliness drive titled ‘Clean and Green Pakistan’ as part of his government’s 100-days agenda and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) election manifesto.
Initially, the campaign will be launched in major cities. The decision to launch a cleanliness drive across the country was taken during a meeting of the Council of Common Interests (CCI) presided over the prime minister last month.
Separately, the prime minister while chairing a meeting regarding the working of the Ministry of Climate Change had approved a project named “Re-Charge Pakistan” for better management and utilization of flood waters to restore and re-charge the groundwater.
Various measures to tackle air, water and plastic waste pollution were identified during the meeting.
The PM said that tackling climate issues was a priority area for the government. He said that ‘Pakistan Cleanliness Movement’ would be launched in October with active involvement of the provincial governments and all segments of society, to undertake a comprehensive cleanliness drive across the country and to raise awareness among the masses.
He directed ministry of climate change to play a proactive role in the cleanliness drive.
The premier also emphasized the need for greater coordination between the ministry and provincial governments on nationally defined priorities.
