The Multan Waste Management Company (MWMC) has terminated its contract with Daewoo, a key participant in the Suthra Punjab Program. This decision was prompted by Daewoo’s inability to meet sanitation performance standards in the region.
Commissioner’s Report Triggers Contract Termination
Commissioner Multan Division, Rana Aamir Karim Khan, authored a critical report that influenced this decision. The report outlined major deficiencies in Daewoo’s sanitation services throughout the division.
Key problems included inadequate service delivery and the failure to maintain cleanliness standards. Consequently, MWMC took swift action to guarantee high-quality sanitation services for residents.
Currently, MWMC directly manages all sanitation operations, ensuring immediate accountability for service quality in the Multan Division.
