Punjab is set to take a major leap in urban sanitation as WASA Faisalabad lays the foundation stone for a 33 MGD wastewater treatment plant — the largest in the province. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz will lead the inauguration, reflecting the government’s commitment to cleaner, more sustainable urban services, especially in Faisalabad’s industrial zones. Ahead of the ceremony, Secretary HUD&PHED Noorul Amin Mengal and WASA MD Sohail Qadir Cheema inspected final preparations. The Rs. 56 billion project is being developed through a partnership between Danida, DSIF, and the Punjab government. Built under a Design–Build–Operate model, it will be completed by September 2028 and includes a modern treatment facility, rehabilitation of Main Channel 4, a trunk sewer line, and a force line to safely release treated water into the Gogera Branch Canal.
