title: "Punjab government links property sale NOC to sanitation fee payment"
description: "Most outlets reported that the Punjab government has made sanitation fee payment a prerequisite for obtaining a property sale NOC. They also noted the distribution of five million sanitation bills across the province and the government’s target of collecting Rs40 billion annually. The framing was largely consistent, with both excerpts emphasizing the policy change and financial goal, though The Express Tribune led with the NOC requirement while Profit highlighted the fee payment as the key condition."
