In a related development, the LWMC staff has been busy clearing the waste backlog in various areas of the city — with the situation having been mishandled over the past few months. As per the statement issued by LWMC Managing Director Rao Imtiaz Ahmed on February 20, the company’s staff had previously removed over 5,800 tons of waste; however, the cleanliness operation was expected to continue for the foreseeable future as the situation still remained unresolved.
