Rangpur City Corporation has launched a citywide operation to remove sacrificial waste following Eid-ul-Azha. The cleanup began at 3 p.m. on Thursday at Shapla Chattar, inaugurated by City Administrator Mahfuz Un Nabi Don. Around 1,100 workers are engaged simultaneously across the city’s 33 wards to clear waste from designated bins, streets, and residential areas, transporting it to the corporation’s dumping site at Nachania Beel.

The administrator stated that all waste removal would be completed by 10 p.m. and that the cleaned areas would be washed with bleaching powder and water afterward. He also noted that the city had arranged 66 designated slaughtering spots across the 33 wards to facilitate organized animal sacrifice during Eid.

Officials reiterated their expectation to complete the waste removal within eight hours, maintaining the city’s commitment to a clean and hygienic environment after the festival.
