LAHORE, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 1st Sep, 2026) Suthra Punjab Lahore has launched an e-challan system against littering in the

city as part of efforts to maintain cleanliness and make Lahore waste-free.

In this regard, an awareness event was held at Liberty Chowk, which was

attended by Deputy Commissioner Lahore Capt (retd) Ali Ejaz and Suthra

Punjab Lahore Chief Executive Officer Sheryar Arif Khan.

CEO Sheryar Arif Khan said e-challan warnings for people found littering

in the city had been introduced from September 1, 2026. He said the teams

of Suthra Punjab Lahore anti-littering squad had been deployed to patrol roads,

markets and commercial areas across the city.

Under the cleanliness arrangements, people found throwing waste would initially

be given warnings and educate about cleanliness laws instead of facing immediate

action. However, strict legal action would be taken against those repeatedly violating

the laws and heavy fines would be imposed on people found throwing or burning

waste on roads.

The Suthra Punjab Lahore anti-littering squad had been tasked with taking action

under the Punjab Local Government Act 2025 and the Suthra Punjab Authority Act 2026.

Under the provisions, a fine inflict from Rs1,000 to Rs10,000 would be imposed for

littering at public places. Failure to maintain cleanliness outside a house, shop or factory

could inflict a fine from Rs1,000 to Rs50,000. A fine of Rs1,000 to Rs2,000 would be

imposed for prohibited plastic bags at shops and shopping malls.

Burning waste could result in a fine charge from Rs100,000 to Rs500,000 and

imprisonment for up to two years. Moreover, burning tyres by a factory or an individual

could attract a fine of up to Rs500,000 and imprisonment for up to 7 years.

To ensure transparency, all fines would be deposited only through banking or digital

channels. Officials have been completely barred from accepting cash payments.

CEO Sheryar Arif Khan said the objective of the anti-littering squad was to make

Lahore waste-free. He added that awareness activities were also being carried

out to educate citizens about the safe disposal of waste and relevant cleanliness laws.
