The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has decided to involve residents of the federal capital in making the city clean and green.
For the purpose, the CDA will launch a comprehensive awareness campaign in the city, engaging local communities of areas.
This will not only help improve overall sanitary conditions in the city but also promote coordination between residents and CDA, besides creating a sense of ownership among the people.
The campaign will be formally launched from Sector G-9/2 where residents of the area will be taken on board to improve the cleanliness of the sector.
The main theme behind this clean and green awareness campaign is to clean streets, green belts, markets and recreational spots, besides inculcating a sense of participation and awareness among the residents for maintaining cleanliness and disposing of the litter in a proper way.
CDA has taken consolidated steps to improve sanitary conditions of Islamabad and the latest techniques have also been adopted in addition to traditional ways of cleaning the city.
In this regard, mechanical sweeping which was once limited to some major avenues, have now been carried out in 11 sub-sectors of Islamabad, which has made sanitation system more efficient.
All the skip-lifters of the Sanitation Directorate have been made functional due to which complaints regarding cleanliness of the city have decreased remarkably.
Moreover, transport fleet of Sanitation Directorate has also been supplemented with new and refurbished machinery.
The machinery which has been recently added include 13 waste compactors, 11 skip lifters, six dump trucks, six mechanical sweepers, 20 tractor trolleys and eight tractors with buckets.
Mechanical collection of household waste from different sectors and spared human resource are also being utilized in other areas of the city.

Cleanliness of surface is just cosmetic and superficial that lasts a few hours. Most important is the cleaning and keeping functional, all of the city's sewerage lines, which are heavily clogged due to being overloaded. Islamabad was planned for a maximum of 285,000 people in its Master Plan and that too after developing all of its sectors. But, at present at less than half of its sectors developed, it has exploded to over a million inhabitants, with no matching increase in the capacity of the sewerage lines. Resulting mess is obvious that needs earliest corrections by CDA.
