Rangpur City Corporation Administrator Advocate Mahfuz Un-Nabi Chowdhury Don has announced that waste from sacrificial animals will be cleared within eight hours on Eid day. Speaking to reporters after inspecting the Rangpur Collectorate Eidgah on Wednesday afternoon, he urged residents to slaughter animals only at designated sites. The city has arranged 66 slaughtering points across 33 wards and launched awareness campaigns to discourage slaughtering in open spaces or on roads.

The administrator said that water supply, service facilities, imams, muazzins, and butchers have been arranged at the designated sites. Bleaching powder will be used to prevent odors after slaughtering. He also requested residents not to dump animal waste into city drains such as Shyamasundari and KD canals, but instead to use dustbins for proper disposal. The waste removal operation will be inaugurated at 2 p.m. on Eid day in front of the city building.

A total of 1,069 sanitation workers divided into three zones will carry out the cleanup using trolleys, rickshaw vans, and trucks. Citizens can contact hotline number 01733390150 for waste management assistance.
