Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) has completed all necessary preparations for waste management ahead of Eid-ul-Azha, said DNCC Administrator Mohammad Ajaz.
He made the announcement while presiding over a coordination meeting with officials and staff of the city’s waste management department at the DNCC Nagar Bhaban in Dhaka’s Gulshan area on Wednesday, according to a media statement issued by DNCC.
To ensure efficient and timely disposal of sacrificial animal waste, DNCC will deploy 15 volunteers per ward during Eid, the meeting was informed. These volunteers will assist in maintaining cleanliness and supporting waste removal efforts in coordination with DNCC staff.
