DNCC mayor Atiqul Islam has called for sacrificing animals  at designated  places in each ward next Eid.

"If sacrificial animals are slaughtered  at designated  places, a festive atmosphere can be created and waste can be removed in a very short time," he said at a press conference on the removal of DNCC's sacrificial waste at the city's Nagar Bhaban.

He said, "We will arrange pandals at designated  places from the city corporation to slaughter animals and also arrange a vehicle to deliver the meat to people's homes."

"Instead of slaughtering on the streets, sidewalks and wherever you are, you will just come to the designated places with and slaughter animals," he added.

There is a plan to build a modern slaughterhouse like those in developed country next to the Gabtali permanent cattle market, he added.

"We have instructed the department concerned to build a modern slaughterhouse."
