100pc animal wastes removed in capital within 24-hour
DHAKA, Aug 2, 2020 (BSS) – The cleaners of the two city
corporations of Dhaka have removed 100 percent wastes of the animals
sacrificed in the Eid-ul-Azha celebrated on Saturday within 24 hours
till 2pm today.
Around 8,000 metric tonnes of animal wastes produced in all 75
wards under Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) were removed with
round-the- clock efforts of the cleaners between 2pm on Saturday and
2pm today.
In DNCC, a huge quantity of animal wastes produced on the first day
of Eid-ul-Azha have been removed from its all 54 wards within less
than the corporation’s targeted 24 hours that ended at 2pm today.
In a video message, DSCC Chief Waste Management Officer Air
Commodore Md Badrul Amin said many citizens in the capital, especially
in old parts of Dhaka, today sacrificed animals one day after the
Eid-ul Azha.
The wastes produced today would be removed within next 12 hours, he added.
On request of the DNCC authorities due to last night’s traffic
gridlock on highways near Amin Bazar in the capital’s outskirt on the
way to the corporation’s waste dumpling place, DSCC extended
cooperation with DNCC by giving 33 trucks and receiving wastes of DNCC
to dump it on DSCC’s Matuail landfill.
