KHULNA, June 8, 2025 (BSS) - The Khulna City Corporation (KCC) workers have fully cleaned the wastage of sacrificial animals  within 8 hours after Eid celebration.

Sources said over 850 workers had been engaged to remove the leftovers in the city on Eid day.

The workers started their cleanliness drive around 12 pm on Eid day which continued till 8 pm.

The KCC authorities have appointed several vigilance teams in 31 wards to inspect the drive and also opened a control room to conduct the operations.

KCC officials led by the Acting Chief Conservancy Officer, who is also the Executive Magistrate of KCC, Kohinur Zahan, monitored the disposal activities of animal wastes in the city area while conservancy supervisors of each ward supervised the actions in their respective wards.

Besides, around 97 vehicles including 88 trucks, 9 container movers (garbage loaders), vans and other modern equipment were on the city streets to remove the wastage, Md. Anisur Rahman, Officer of the Conservancy Department of KCC told BSS today.

KCC workers sprayed 4,000 kgs of bleaching powder and 400 liters of savlon in the slaughtering spots in the city to exterminate the bad smell, he said. 

"Though it was a hard task to clean the city within 8 hours, the workers had done the job," he added.

Earlier, KCC authorities fixed a total of 141 slaughtering spots at 31 wards and conducted a campaign among the city dwellers to ensure a congenial atmosphere in the city during Eid-ul-Azha.

KCC officials including Chief Conservancy Officer (Acting) Kohinur Zahan and Officer of the Conservancy Department of KCC Md. Anisur Rahman visited different areas of the city on Eid day to watch the cleanliness drive of the KCC workers.

While talking to BSS, Member Secretary of the KCC Cattle Market Conducting Committee Estate Officer Gazi Salah Uddin said, "City dwellers have sacrificed 6, 651 sacrificial animals during the Eid-ul-Azha this year.” 

This year, KCC has fixed 4 percent ‘hassil’(Revenue from cattle selling) for each selling sacrificial animals instead of 5 percent ‘hassil’ to get little relief to buyers.
