KASUR, Sept 21: Sanitary conditions in the city have reportedly exposed the tall claims of the tehsil municipal administration. In spite of the availability of 337 sanitary workers and a special squad having the facility of tractor-trollies , the TMA authorities have failed to provide proper services.

The officials of the department blame traders and general public for not cooperating with them. The worst affected localities are Sabzi Mandi chowk, Circular road, Railway road, Chandni chowk, Kot Maulvi Abdul Qadir, Adda Lalyani chowk, Kamal Shah chowk, Rukanpura, Bhasarpura, Niaznagar, Kot Murad Khan chowk and Khan Mahal Cinema chowk.

Requesting anonymity, a TMA officer told this correspondent here on Tuesday that most of the sanitary workers had been engaged by union council Nazims and councillors for private work. Whenever, the TMA tried to take any action against the workers, he said, the elected representatives defended them.
