Punjab main koora tax?

Express News has reported that the Punjab government has decided to hire local private companies instead of municipal services for waste management of 37 districts in the province.

The government also intends to put a waste management tax on the public but it is unclear that what kind of tax it’ll be.

The government plans to start waste management services in the next five to six months.

Express News reported that there are no private waste management companies in some districts such as Sahiwal so the government has instructed authorities to facilitate private companies.

In the past, the Punjab government in Lahore had given these contracts to foreign companies which became a burden on the national exchequer due to payments in dollars.

That is why this time Punjab government intends to hire local companies.

Rural areas will be provided with better waste management services as well.
