Wastes of the sacrificial animals will be removed within 24 hours announced the two Dhaka City mayors.

Dhaka South City Corporation Mayor Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh and Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Atiqul Islam said twenty thousand workers are ready to remove the wastes.

Mayors told this during talking to reporters after Eid prayers at the Jatiya Eidgah maidan on Thursday (June 29) morning.

They said wastes of the sacrificial animals in South City Corporation will be removed within 24 hours and 8 hours in North City Corporation. 

The wastes removal programme will start from 2 pm, mayors added.

Mayor Taposh 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 has requested citizens to complete the slaughter of animals within two days and avoid prolonging the process until the third day.

Mayor Atiqul has urged residents not to dispose of garbage indiscriminately and instead use designated waste collection points.

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