A massive clean-up operation starts by Barisal City Corporation (BCC) to remove waste sacrificial animals following Eid-ul-Azha on Saturday noon.
Officials are hopeful that all waste will be removed within six to eight hours after the sacrifices, keeping the city clean.
The conservancy department BCC also reported that indiscriminate slaughtering has decreased this year due to increased public awareness, which has made waste management easier.
Around 700 cleaning labourers began working simultaneously across all 30 wards of the city under that drive.
With favorable weather conditions this year, the waste removal is likely to be completed within six to eight hours, they said.
Yusuf Ali, a sanitation officer at BCC, said: "As in previous years, around 200tons of sacrificial waste are being handled with the same manpower and logistical support."
Ten trucks, along with three loaders and three water-spraying vehicles, are taking part in the waste cleaning operation.
Additionally, 1,000kg of bleaching powder are being used for disinfection.
To ensure proper waste disposal, 5,000 waste bags have been distributed across the 30 wards of BCC.
According to BCC authorities, the waste removal process is expected to be completed by the evening.
