RAJSHAHI, Aug 9, 2018 (BSS) – Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) has fixed
210 spots for slaughtering sacrificial animals on the forthcoming day of Eid-
Ul-Azha in the city.
The RCC administration took the decision in a meeting relating to the
issue of slaughtering sacrificial animals and waste removal held at the City
Bhaban conference hall yesterday afternoon.
Chaired by Chief Executive Officer Shah Mumin, the meeting was addressed,
among others, by Secretary Rejaul Islam, Chief Engineer Ashraful Haque,
Superintending Engineer Khandaker Abul Bashar, Chief Health Officer Dr AFM
Anjuman Ara Begum and Chief Conservatory Officer Sheikh Mamun.
Highlighting the salient feature of the meeting Shah Mumin here today told
BSS that the city corporation is determined to safe removal of sacrificial
animals waste within 24 hours in the city and it will adopt massive measures
to this end.
He urged the city dwellers to use only the selected places for the
purposes in the greater interest of making the metropolis along with its air
and water free from pollution and other contamination.
Planned and hygienic slaughtering of animals has become indispensable to
protect the public health from becoming infected with various diseases
including the zoonotic ones.
Mumin says collective effort of all government and non-government
organizations concerned has become a crucial issue to control the community
level zoonotic disease particularly anthrax.
