Liaquat Hossain, Rajshahi: AHM Khairuzzaman Liton, Mayor of Rajshahi City Corporation, said that all the waste of Korbani in the metropolitan area will be removed by the night of Eid. The next day of Eid, the metropolitan people will get a clean city. The mayor was speaking as the chief guest at a coordination meeting of ward secretaries and clean supervisors in the city hall of Nagar Bhaban on Sunday afternoon.
The mayor added that all the waste of the sacrifice was removed by the night of the last Eid-ul-Azha. In continuation of this, the waste of the sacrifice will be removed by night this time. I want to give the gift of a clean city to the people of the metropolis the day after Eid. I am seeking the cooperation of the people of the metropolis in this work.
Mayor Khairuzzaman Liton called on the officials and employees of the cleaning department to perform their duties properly and said that the holy Eid-ul-Azha is going to be celebrated amidst the outbreak of corona virus. For this, all concerned should keep extra vigil. People should be encouraged to wear masks and follow hygiene rules. When slaughtering a sacrificial animal, those engaged in this work must ensure that they wear a mask.
The mayor added that he would not go to the sacrificial animal farm in groups. Go to 2/1 of the family and buy a sacrificial animal. Everyone has to follow the hygiene rules in the animal shed.
