Punjab has introduced drone surveillance for the first time to monitor Eid-ul-Adha cleanliness operations across the province, aiming to improve waste management and ensure faster response during large-scale sanitation activities. The initiative is part of the ongoing “Suthra Punjab” campaign to keep cities and towns clean during the Eid holidays.
According to official data, more than 110,000 tons of animal waste were collected during the first two days of Eid across Punjab. Lahore alone accounted for over 17,000 tons of waste clearance, highlighting the scale of the operation in major urban centers. Thousands of sanitation workers remained active day and night in both urban and rural areas to manage the cleanup drive.

Authorities said drones are being used to monitor real-time conditions, identify waste hotspots, and improve coordination among field teams. The use of modern technology is helping improve efficiency, reduce response time, and ensure better coverage of all areas during the sanitation campaign.
Officials added that the integration of digital monitoring tools reflects the government’s broader effort to modernize municipal services and improve public hygiene standards. The campaign is expected to continue until all districts are fully cleared and sanitation targets are achieved.
Overall, the initiative marks a significant step toward technology-driven urban management in Punjab, especially during high-pressure events like Eid-ul-Adha.
