Animal Sacrifice During Eid: 356 spots fixed in Dhaka city

The two Dhaka city corporations have fixed 356 spots for sacrificing animals during Eid-ul-Azha, scheduled to be held on August 1.

Among the spots, 256 are in the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) areas while 100 are in Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) areas.

DNCC mayor Atiqul Islam yesterday urged city dwellers to sacrifice animals at the designated places for the better management of waste.

The mayor made the call while holding a meeting on garbage management during the Eid with officials and employees of the city corporation.

Atiqul also directed the officials and employees, who will remain involved with garbage management, to do their duties properly. "Our main target is to clean the waste, accumulated  during the Eid, as quickly as possible," he said.

About maintaining health guidelines in ongoing cattle markets, the mayor said they will strengthen the monitoring works in this regard. "We have already formed a team, comprising 10 councillors," the mayor said.

Like previous years, the city corporations have a plan to clean the waste generated during Eid within 24 hours.
