Twelve Thousand Tonnes Cleared From South Dhaka

The massive waste management operation initiated for the annual festival of Eid-ul-Adha has progressed rapidly across the administrative jurisdictions of the Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC). Dedicated cleansing teams successfully collected and transferred vast amounts of animal refuse generated during the traditional sacrifices to central disposal sites, ensuring municipal sanitation under an accelerated timeline.

During an official press briefing convened on Thursday evening, 28 May 2026, at the Shitalakshya Hall within the Nagar Bhaban municipal headquarters, the DSCC Administrator, Bir Muktijoddha Mohammed Abdus Salam, provided a comprehensive data-led breakdown of the ongoing urban sanitation campaign. The administrator confirmed that during the initial day of the festival, a total of 118,789 sacrificial animals were slaughtered within the geographical boundaries of the southern city corporation.

Volumetric Analysis of Solid Waste Clearance

The scale of the multi-ward operations required a large-scale deployment of heavy logistical vehicles, mechanical dumpers, and specialized waste-hauling trucks. Presenting verified quantitative records from the field, Administrator Mohammed Abdus Salam stated that exactly 12,684 tonnes of sacrificial animal waste had been entirely cleared from the city’s streets and residential sectors by 8:30 pm on Eid evening.

Projected Operations: Based on the continuous data streaming from regional waste transfer stations, municipal planners calculated that the aggregate volume of cleared refuse would successfully surpass the 18,000-tonne mark before midnight on Thursday.

Concurrently, cleansing crews have achieved significant breakthroughs in rehabilitating the locations allocated for temporary livestock markets (haats). The DSCC administration verified that approximately 65 per cent of the substantial solid waste and organic refuse accumulated at these temporary trading zones had already been thoroughly collected and treated with sanitising bleaching powder.

Comprehensive Territorial Decontamination Metrics

The DSCC administrator highlighted the rapid operational progression observed across the municipality’s localized zones. Out of the 75 distinct municipal wards that fall under the direct administrative purview of the Dhaka South City Corporation, a total of 71 wards have been officially certified as completely free of sacrificial waste, achieving a 100 per cent sanitation clearance rate within the designated deadline.

In the remaining four municipal wards where operations are ongoing, field supervisors reported that approximately 90 per cent of the generated refuse had already been successfully managed. Large contingents of municipal street sweepers and waste disposal staff continue to work continuously to clear the remaining pockets of solid refuse and restore baseline sanitary conditions to these remaining sectors.

Concluding his formal address to the media assembly, Administrator Mohammed Abdus Salam extended formal commendations to the residents of the metropolis for their active civic compliance and vital cooperation during the disposal process. He emphasized that sustaining a sanitary, hazard-free urban environment requires continuous public awareness and mutual collaboration between the civilian population and municipal authorities during major religious and cultural events.
