The GVMC has implemented two-bin system in every 50 metres in all the commercial areas for the collection of wet and dry waste separately and to avoid littering of open places.

On Monday the strikers, including health and education workers, enforced a virtual cut-off of Balochistan from the rest of the country with a blockade of the main highways.
A sit-down protest was held outside the provincial assembly in the capital Quetta with other demonstrations held across the province.

A polio vaccination campaign due this week was also postponed as workers conducting mobile vaccination campaigns joined the strike.
