Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Administrator Md. Abdus Salam announced that the city aims to remove 11,776 tons of waste on the second day of Eid. He made the statement while inspecting the temporary cattle market at Shahjahanpur Railway Colony on Friday. During the visit, he observed ongoing waste removal operations and instructed officials and workers to complete the task swiftly.
According to the administrator, uninterrupted waste removal activities are continuing across DSCC areas to clear animal and market waste generated during Eid. He said DSCC’s waste management teams, including cleaners and transport workers, are working round the clock to maintain a clean and healthy environment for residents. On the first day of Eid, a total of 14,814 tons of sacrificial waste were dumped at the Matuail landfill by midnight.
Salam warned that any leaseholders expanding temporary cattle markets beyond designated areas or occupying roads illegally will face strict legal action, including fines and blacklisting. DSCC has deployed additional manpower, vehicles, containers, and cleaning equipment, supported by a special monitoring team overseeing the entire operation.
