Workers of Khulna City Corporation (KCC) cleaned the entire city within six hours after slaughtering the sacrificial animals on August 1, the Eid day.

The KCC sources said over 800 workers have been deployed to remove the wastes of the sacrificial animals in the city till 8.05pm on the Eid day.

While talking to BSS, Khaleque said, "City dwellers have sacrificed around 6,805 sacrificial animals during the Eid-ul-Azha. It was a hard task to clean the city within six hours on the day, but the workers had done the job."

Terming over Taka 1.59 crore has earned as revenue from only cattle market of the KCC, the Mayor expressed his satisfaction over revenue collection as well as the cleanliness drive conducted by the KCC workers during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
