The Suthra Punjab program's cleanliness bill collection efforts in Lahore have fallen significantly short of the program's goals. Over the past seven months, the initiative recovered only 3% of the total billed amount, which amounted to Rs. 13 billion. In total, 5.19 million cleanliness bills have been issued, but only 275,000 have been paid. The outstanding amount stands at Rs. 360 million.
A significant portion of the unpaid bills, 2.8 million, were issued in residential areas, with only 127,000 being paid. Similarly, commercial areas also saw weak collection, with 2.3 million bills issued, and just 148,000 collected. The low recovery rate has created a major hurdle for the Suthra Punjab program in achieving its financial targets.
Authorities acknowledge that additional measures are required to enhance bill collection in Lahore. The situation in Lahore was reported in the article "Lahore Collects Just 3% of Rs. 13 Billion Suthra Punjab Cleanliness Bills," which was originally published on ProPakistani.
