Karachi remained active on the second day of Eid-ul-Adha as thousands of residents continued performing animal sacrifices in observance of the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), while authorities accelerated citywide cleanup efforts to prevent sanitation problems and environmental hazards.
Sanitation teams of the Sindh Solid Waste Management Board continued large-scale waste collection operations in streets, residential neighborhoods, markets, and public areas across Karachi. Workers remained engaged in removing animal remains and disinfecting affected locations to maintain cleanliness during the Eid holidays.
Authorities have imposed Section 144 across the city, strictly banning the dumping of animal waste and remains on roads, open spaces, and public areas. Officials warned that legal action would be taken against anyone found violating sanitation rules or creating unhygienic conditions during Eid celebrations.
On the first day of Eid-ul-Adha, police and local administration launched crackdowns in different parts of Karachi against people accused of improperly disposing of sacrificial waste. Several individuals were arrested under Section 144 as authorities intensified monitoring operations to ensure compliance with government instructions.
City officials urged residents to cooperate with sanitation workers and use designated disposal points and collection services for animal waste. They emphasized that public cooperation remains essential to maintaining hygiene, preventing foul smells, and avoiding the spread of diseases during the three days of Eid-ul-Adha.
The cleanup campaign is expected to continue throughout the Eid holidays, with additional machinery, waste collection vehicles, and field staff deployed across Karachi to handle the large volume of sacrificial waste generated during the festival.
