Live Campaign Impact
The Story
Waste collection has stopped in two very different parts of the country, with no clear plan to restart it. In Union Council 4, New Sukkur, garbage has piled up along the main street since mid-July 2026 after the private contractor reportedly stopped operating without any announcement, and repeated calls to the Sukkur Municipal Corporation's sanitation helpline have not produced a collection date. In Skardu, shopkeepers around Yadgar Chowk market say the Municipal Committee's collection truck stopped coming in late June, leaving waste piling at an informal dumping point behind the vegetable market during peak tourist season. Both cases show basic sanitation services quietly lapsing with residents left to complain and wait.
The Sukkur Municipal Corporation to resume regular garbage collection for Union Council 4 and clear the existing backlog within the week, and the Skardu Municipal Committee to restore collection at Yadgar Chowk and provide a temporary skip or alternative pickup until its vehicle is repaired.

Kids playing right next to an uncollected trash heap that's now taller than they are. #GarbagePilesPK
This garbage pile has been growing on the same corner for three weeks. No collection, no response. #GarbagePilesPK
