Srinagar, Jun 05 :\u00a0<\/strong>The Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) will deploy a free hooper vehicle service across all municipal wards to collect animal waste and hides during the upcoming Eid-ul-Adha festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An official from the SMC Srinagar told the news agency\u2014(KNO), the department has made comprehensive arrangements to ensure the scientific disposal of sacrificial animal remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the service will be active on all three days of Eid, starting Saturday, June 7, 2025, with a dedicated team of drivers and ward officers deployed across all 74 municipal wards of Srinagar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added a detailed roster of ward-wise drivers and vehicles has been prepared by the Chief Transport Officer and published for public reference. Each ward will have a designated hooper vehicle with assigned staff operating in rotational shifts to maintain continuity of service throughout the festive period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a door-to-door service and all arrangements have been put in place to facilitate a clean and hygienic environment during Eid. We urge the public not to dump animal waste in open spaces or drains,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, the SMC has also publicized the ward-wise contact details of sanitation team heads, and the service will be completely free of cost. In addition, 24×7 control rooms will remain operational to register complaints or requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
