Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain on Saturday hoped that the two city corporations in Dhaka would be able to remove all the waste within 12 hours.
He made the hope while inspecting the Secondary Transfer Station adjacent to Kalabagan Shishu Park under Dhaka South City Corporation at about 12:30pm to see the rapid removal of sacrificial waste.
Local Government Division secretary Md Rezaul Maksud Jahedi and Dhaka South City Corporation administrator Md Shahjahan Mia, were among others,聽 present at the time.
The adviser said that the Eid joy of the city residents this year would not be hampered due to sacrificial waste.
During the inspection, the adviser said cleaning sacrificial waste in the city is a big challenge.
If the waste is not removed on time, it will make odour pollution and can even cause diseases and germs, he added.
Later, at about 1:30pm, he also launched DNCC鈥檚 clean-up operation at Agargaon, near the National Museum of Science and Technology.
Both city corporations have announced that they will remove sacrificial animal waste on a daily basis during Eid.
To tackle the clean-up effort, DSCC deployed 10,267 cleaners along with 207 dump trucks, 200 mini trucks, and other cleaning equipment, aiming to remove about 30,000 tonnes of waste within 12 hours.
Additionally, DSCC distributed 1.4 lakh biodegradable bags, 40 tonnes of bleaching powder, and 222 gallons of disinfectant across its 75 wards.
Similarly, DNCC also deployed nearly 10,000 cleaners, 224 dump trucks, 381 pickup vans, and 24 payloaders to remove an estimated 20,000 tonnes of waste.
DNCC provided 12.5 lakh polythene bags, 2,500 sacks of bleaching powder, and 4,000 cans of disinfectant.=
