RCC commits to remove sacrificial animal wastes within 12 hours

RAJSHAHI, Aug 19, 2018 (BSS) – Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) is
determined to safe removal of sacrificial animals waste within 12 hours in
the city and it has adopted massive measures to this end.

As part of the efforts, the 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 with ward-secretaries
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 Khairul Bashar, Chief Health Officer Dr AFM
Anjuman Ara Begum and Chief Conservatory Officer Sheikh Mamun.

Highlighting the salient feature of the meeting Shah Mumin today told BSS
that the city corporation is pledged bound to safe removal of sacrificial
animals waste within 12 hours so that the city dwellers can see a neat and
clean environment on the following morning.

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.

The citizens should come forward, work together and, as a whole, take the
responsibility of building the city habitable. Time has come to prevent the
existing trend of slaughtering sacrificial animals here and there.

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.
