Lahore: The Punjab government has announced the imposition of a new garbage collection tax, with households and businesses expected to pay up to Rs. 5,000 per month. Officials said the step aims to improve waste management across the province and fund modern sanitation services.
The tax amount will vary depending on property size and usage, with higher rates applicable to commercial units. The move has sparked mixed reactions, with many citizens criticizing the financial burden amid rising inflation, while authorities argue it is necessary to ensure a cleaner environment.
