LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that a modern and organised system of cleanliness has been launched in the metropolis with the collaboration of Turk companies, and Lahore will be made the most beautiful city of gardens and flowers under this project.

He said that the same model would be replicated in Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Multan, Peshawar and Karachi, and hundreds of neat and clean cities like Istanbul would emerge in Pakistan. He thanked the president and prime minister of Turkey as well as the mayor of Istanbul for giving a practical shape to the solid waste management project.

He said that it was first time in the national history that a comprehensive project of solid waste management had been initiated, adding that under the project, more than 5,000 tonnes of garbage which is accumulated in Lahore daily would be disposed of in a proper manner.

He said that there were strong bonds of friendship, brotherhood and sincerity between Turkey and Pakistan and “that is why, despite tendering of the project, the Turk companies reduced the cost and also conducted the survey of the project at extremely minimum charges.

He said that the cultural and trade relations were strengthening between Pakistan and Turkey. He said that clean environment leaves a positive impact on human lives, and the project of solid waste management would provide a healthy atmosphere to the citizens. Dr Topbas inaugurated the new solid waste management system and drove the truck brought from Turkey for the project.

The distinguished guest was accorded an unprecedented welcome on his arrival to the city. Members of the provincial cabinet, members of the national and provincial assemblies, senators, senior officers and other important personalities warmly welcomed the guests. Two children presented a bouquet to Dr Topbas and his wife on the occasion. Shahbaz Sharif introduced ministers, senators, assembly members, senior officers and the elite of the city to the mayor.

Shahbaz Sharif said that the modern Bus Rapid Transit System and solid waste management projects by Turkey in Punjab reflected the country’s confidence in the transparency and public-welfare steps taken by the Punjab government.

Dr Topbas said that Pakistan was his second home and he was very much pleased to come to Lahore. He said that Lahoris had won his heart by according him a warm welcome, and proved that the hearts of the people of Turkey and Pakistan beat together.
