The offal of the animals to be sacrificed during the three days of Eid-ul-Azha at designated places would be lifted by the SSWMB, while the DMCs would conduct anti-flies and insecticide spray in Karachi and other districts of the province.

According to the notification issued earlier nobody would be allowed to slaughter animals on the road and in the streets. He said the animals would be slaughtered only at the designated areas or within the walled compounds.

The SSWMB chief said around 1.079 million tons of offal would be generated and a plan had been devised for their removal.

“The SSWMB is operating two landfill sites in the city measuring 500 acres each in Gondpas and Jam Chakro.

For proper disposal and discarding of offal, an appropriate mechanism has been adopted; trenches at landfill site have been excavated and the offal collected from all districts would be dumped in the trenches and the trenches would be buried accurately to prevent any hazard to the environment.”
