Sacrificial animal waste in Dhaka city corporation areas will be removed within 12hrs: Home adviser

“Slaughtering of sacrificial animals will continue for about three days. Almost 90% of the animals will be sacrificed on the first day, with the rest done gradually. Therefore, swift waste management is necessary. The administrators have assured us that all waste will be cleared within 12 hours,” he said

Sacrificial animal waste generated during the upcoming Eid-ul-Adha will be removed from the Dhaka city corporation areas within 12 hours, Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said today (25 May).

"Slaughtering of sacrificial animals will continue for about three days. Almost 90% of the animals will be sacrificed on the first day, with the rest done gradually. Therefore, swift waste management is necessary. The administrators have assured us that all waste will be cleared within 12 hours," he said, talking to reporters.

The adviser made the remarks after meetings on the proper management of sacrificial animal markets and rawhide for the upcoming Eid, and a core committee meeting on law and order.

The adviser stated, "As you know, every year a lot of rawhide is wasted. We want sellers to receive fair prices for their rawhide. Fair pricing is the right of the poor. The rawhide is usually given to underprivileged people, orphanages, and madrasahs, but they often do not receive its proper value. We have taken measures to ensure they receive a fair price."

He also said the government is trying to reduce the market fee (hassil). "After discussions with stakeholders, we pointed out that the 5% fee is too high and explored ways to reduce it."

He, however, added, "We have not yet been able to lower the fee. We may not be in the office next time, but we are working so that next year the fee does not exceed 3%."

The adviser said this time, arrangements have been made for 20 markets in the two Dhaka city corporations — Dhaka North and Dhaka South.

"Security measures are being put in place to ensure order in these markets. We have arranged for veterinarians in the animal markets so that no sick cattle are sold. Additionally, some people may fall sick in the crowded markets, and there will be medical staff available for them as well. Responsible individuals at each market will oversee these arrangements, and there will be an adequate number of Ansar personnel present," he added.
