On the third day of Eid-ul-Azha, waste removal from temporary cattle markets in Dhaka remained sluggish, particularly in areas under Dhaka North City Corporation such as Gabtoli and Uttara Diabari. Despite the end of animal sales two days earlier, piles of straw, fodder, and animal waste continued to emit foul odors, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass. Cleaners were seen working, but officials admitted that full cleanup could take several more days.
Field visits revealed that while parts of Uttara’s metro route had been cleared, surrounding roads were still covered in waste. In Gabtoli, main roads were mostly cleaned, but stains and odors persisted due to insufficient washing. Workers said dismantling bamboo structures was delaying progress, with some estimating up to a week for full clearance. DNCC official Md. Ziaur Rahman said cleanup of inner areas depended on leaseholders removing their materials first.
Meanwhile, new trees were being planted in damaged green zones near metro stations, though residents urged authorities to spray disinfectants to prevent disease spread from remaining waste.
