Punjab has introduced drone technology for the first time to monitor Eid-ul-Adha cleanliness operations across the province, marking a major step toward modernizing sanitation management during one of the busiest periods of the year. Authorities said the use of drones is helping officials oversee waste collection activities in real time, identify areas requiring immediate attention, and ensure quicker response during the large-scale cleanup campaign.
According to government officials, more than 110,000 tons of animal waste were collected across Punjab during the first two days of Eid-ul-Adha. Lahore alone cleared over 17,000 tons of waste as sanitation teams continued operations day and night to maintain cleanliness across the city. Thousands of sanitation workers, heavy machinery units, and waste disposal vehicles remained active in both urban and rural areas throughout the province.
The province-wide “Suthra Punjab” campaign is being supervised through modern technology and digital monitoring systems, with drones providing aerial surveillance of sensitive and heavily populated areas. Officials stated that the technology is improving coordination between field teams and administrative departments while helping maintain hygiene standards during the Eid holidays.
Authorities added that round-the-clock cleanliness efforts will continue until all remaining waste is removed, with special monitoring teams deployed to ensure timely disposal and prevent environmental or health concerns in residential areas.
