The Tribune Latest reports a significant initiative by the Faisalabad divisional administration to address rural sanitation issues by mapping 1,460 sewage ponds across four districts as part of efforts to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on sanitation by 2030. Faisalabad Commissioner Raja Jahangir Anwar highlighted that the mapping identified 712 ponds in Faisalabad, 422 in Toba Tek Singh, 134 in Chiniot, and 192 in Jhang. The administration has already completed dewatering of 62 ponds and set a 60-day timeline for draining the remaining ponds. An additional 90-day deadline has been established for constructing katcha nullahs to connect these ponds to natural water bodies, with temporary relief measures involving sucker machines. This initiative reflects a proactive approach towards environmental management and public health improvement in the region.
