UK to replicate CM Maryam’s ‘Suthra Punjab’ model: BBC​

Recorder Report
Published 14 December 2025



LAHORE: After Cop30, Forbes, and Bloomberg, BBC has also recognized Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s ‘Suthra’ (Clean) Punjab programme, as it has reported that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s ‘Clean Punjab’ model has become a role model in the UK.

It added that the cleanliness model of Clean Punjab has reached Birmingham, a British city; as for the first time in history, a volunteer group from a British city has sought guidance from Punjab in waste management. It highlighted that the ‘Clean Punjab’ model has proven effective in solving problem of boiling garbage and frequent strikes in Birmingham.

BBC reported that this digital partnership of Punjab experts and Birmingham volunteers in waste management has changed many assumptions, as Punjab’s waste management plan (Clean Punjab) has become an example worthy of imitation for institutions around the world. It added, “After learning from Punjab, we have realized that though we live in the West, we have lagged behind in responsibility. It underscored that UK Local Volunteers consulted ‘Suthra’ Punjab experts online, while their first contact took place at COP-30 climate conference in Brazil.

BBC highlighted that details of “Suthra (Clean) Punjab” program were presented at Pakistan pavilion in COP-30, while CEO Lahore Waste Management Company briefed the volunteers from Birmingham in an online meeting. He apprised them about Punjab’s model and solutions to local problems. It said that Punjab’s modern waste management system “Suthra Punjab” has received great international recognition, as the global magazine Bloomberg declared its ‘Waste to Value Project’ as a major project, adding that it is contributing Rs 300 billion annually to Punjab economy through environment-friendly activities.

Israel may also be thinking about replicating CCD idea.

And just who has the primary responsibility for such an initiative?

We know who does...it just that they don't. Let's say this is hoping against hope.

Exactly. When I won't do what I have the primary responsibility for, I also cannot expect others to do it for me, now can I?

Meanwhile article nowhere to be seen on the BBC website.

The depths the regime will go to for propaganda. Birmingham has only has a problem recently because of the binmen strikes - which are rumbling on.

What could theUK possibly learn from the Sharif clan? They even exceed them at corruption.

KMC/Sind Govt need to sort this out. The poor citizens are suffering while the two bicker.

The entire model for governance of Karachi needs a top to bottom overhaul. All of it, IMO.

Universities deny plans to open branch campuses in Pakistan

Institutions named by the Punjab government rule themselves out, as experts question the viability of foreign expansion into the country

Correction to reports that Imperial plans to open an overseas campus

Reports that Imperial College London plans to open a campus overseas are incorrect.

Just like before.
And such news is purposely allowed to spread.

Now will action be taken against this fake news ?

BBC Urdu has literally posted it on all of their social media accounts.

Shameless Patwaris twisting the truth. Maryam Bibi probably paid for an advertorial on BBC Urdu or bribed some Patwari working for BBC in Pakistan.

FGS, implement a "Suthra Karachi" or "Safa Karachi" model...millions will be grateful.

Karachiites should simply give up on the PPP led Sindh Government and should perhaps work on out of the box solutions such as citizen committees where we pour resources to fix things within our own localities. Or, under some larger citizen umbrella, we should be able to repair roads, ensure 100% collection of garbage, beautification of the city, delivery of potable water to all parts of Karachi, safety of the city and so on.

Reliance on PPP has led us to this junction in 20 years, another 20 years and the problems would compound x times. I wonder why our Business Community does not work on this model; people who are just as influential financially as Malik Riaz could form a group where they can lead and assist each other to make the city better. The citizens can also chip in with whatever we can do.

Soon their will be PHD in Suthra Punjab.
