Faisalabad Commissioner Raja Jahangir Anwar distributed the keys of e-bikes among the concerned squad members at the Municipal Corporation. Talking to the media, the Commissioner said that the squad will operate within their respective zones and report issues related to encroachments, WASA matters, street lights, sanitation, dog control, removal of wall chalking, illegal parking, missing manholes, and the condition of curb stones to the relevant departments and sections.
