The Water Sanitation and Services Company Abbottabad (WSSCA) chalked out a comprehensive plan to ensure timely supply of clean drinking water to the citizens, cleaning of the city and disposal of sacrificial animal’s remains during Eidul Azha.
WSSCA has established 130 garbage collection points in the city where sacrificial animal’s offal and remains would be collected while biodegradable shopping bags will also be provided to the masses. Around 180 sanitation workers of WSSCA have been deputed on the eve of Eid to dispose of the offal. Chairman WSSCA and other staff would monitor the Eid operation.
Similarly, Tehsil Municipal Officer (TMO) Havelian also canceled the Eid holidays of sanitary staff while the staff will work inside the city for three days of Eid.
