The Rawalpindi Waste Management Company (RWMC), set up a camp at the 6th Road to create awareness among the people about cleanliness on the eve of Eid Ul Azha. According to the RWMC spokesman, the communication teams distributed biodegradable bags and pamphlets to the public with messages and information about RWMC arrangements being adopted on the occasion of Eid.
Meanwhile, Chairman RWMC Saqib Rafiq told media, “The Company has finalized a comprehensive cleanliness plan for Eid-ul-Azha to get rid of entrails and offal of the slaughtered animals.” He said RWMC would remove over 9,000 tons of waste on Eid-ul-Azha while as many as 4,000 sanitary workers would be deployed in three shifts round the clock during the drive. Saqib informed that 435 vehicles, including dumpers, tractors, trolleys, pick-ups and excavators would be part of the special drive to remove the remains from every nook and corner of the district. He added that the staff leaves would be cancelled and sanitary workers and officials of the department would ensure cleanliness during the three Eid days in all tehsils of the district including Murree, Kahuta, Taxila, Gujar Khan and Kallar Syeda.
