Banners of the Clean Punjab campaign featuring Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz have been seen floating in sewage water at a government school in Faisalabad. The incident highlights serious concerns about ground conditions in the area. Students have reportedly been forced to skip physical classes due to the situation.
The affected site is Government Primary School 220 R.B II, located on Alpha Road. The school building and surrounding streets are flooded with dirty sewage water. Classrooms have become inaccessible, making it difficult for students and teachers to continue regular activities.
Images and videos circulating online show the Clean Punjab banners partially submerged in contaminated water. These visuals have drawn public attention and sparked debate on social media. Many users have questioned the gap between campaign messaging and on-ground conditions.
Residents of nearby areas, including Pathanwala, Naeemabad Road, and Bhata Stop, have reported severe drainage issues. They say streets remain flooded for days, affecting daily life. Children are unable to reach school, and access to nearby mosques has also been disrupted.
Local residents have expressed frustration over what they describe as long-standing negligence. In one video shared by a local outlet, a resident stands in sewage water near the school gate. He criticizes officials for failing to address the problem despite repeated complaints.
The presence of Clean Punjab banners in such conditions has added to public concern. Locals have accused WASA Faisalabad of poor response and lack of regular maintenance. They claim that clogged drainage systems are not cleared on time.
Officials have previously acknowledged infrastructure challenges in the city. WASA Faisalabad was originally designed for a population of around 500,000. However, the city’s population has now crossed 4 million. This has placed heavy pressure on outdated sewerage systems.
Experts say that without urgent upgrades, such issues may continue to worsen. Proper planning and timely maintenance are essential to manage urban growth. The incident has once again raised questions about the effectiveness of sanitation efforts.
