As part of the efforts, the RCC has fixed the selective spots for slaughtering sacrificial animals on the forthcoming day of Eid-Ul-Azha in the city.

Mayor Liton said the city corporation is working for safe removal of sacrificial animal waste within the stipulated time so that the city residents can see a neat and clean environment within the shortest possible time.

The mayor laid the importance of planned and hygienic slaughtering of animals to protect public health from any sort of infectious disease including the lethal COVID-19 virus.
He said collective efforts of all quarters have become a crucial issue in controlling community-level zoonotic disease, particularly COVID-19 and anthrax.
