Dhaka mayors promise to remove sacrificial waste within 24hrs

The mayors of Dhaka’s two city corporations have announced to remove sacrificial wastes within 24 hours.

Dhaka South City Corporation Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh and Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Atiqul Islam said this while talking to reporters after Eid prayers at the Jatiya Eidgah maidan this morning.

Mayor Taposh highlighted the extensive preparations made by the city corporations to manage the disposal of sacrificial animal waste.

He said with over 350 vehicles and additional support from various departments, more than 10,000 individuals will be employed for waste removal operations. The central control room has already initiated coordination efforts, aiming to replicate the success of the previous year’s waste management operation.

The mayor requested citizens to complete the slaughter of animals within two days and avoid prolonging the process until the third day. By adhering to this timeframe, the authorities can ensure efficient waste removal and provide maximum benefits to the people of Dhaka.

Mayor Atiqul expressed his satisfaction at the improved conditions for travel during heavy rainfall.

Acknowledging the importance of community cooperation, he urged residents not to dispose of garbage indiscriminately and instead use designated waste collection points.

He said approximately 11,000 workers are actively engaged in waste management and urged the public to support their efforts.
