No More Waste on Roads, Open Spaces: DSCC Mayor

Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Barrister Sheik Fazle Noor Taposh said on Wednesday that no more garbage and waste would be allowed on the roads and open spaces.

Garbage collectors are now collecting garbage from house to house from six o'clock in the evening in every room. All waste shall be transferred to this Intermediate Waste Transfer Center (STS) by 10 p.m. (night). From STS, the waste will be brought to the Matual waste disposal site from 10 p.m., Taposh said.

So, there will be no more waste on open squares and roads, he said this morning while laying the foundation stone of the Islamabad STS in Ward No. 29 of the city.

Taposh said, "We have already re-arranged our waste management activities." From now on, we will build waste transfer centers in areas that do not have waste transfer centers.

“We will build one STS in each of the 75 wards of DSCC.”

Meanwhile, Mayor Taposh said that the cleaners will sweep the streets from 9pm and Dhaka city will be clean and tidy within 6 am.

Later, Taposh inspected the STS to be built in Malibagh (Ward No. 12) and inspected the front road adjacent to Nagar Bhaban, Bangabazar, Anandabazar and Fulbaria bus stops behind Nagar Bhaban and identified the existing problems.

He also directed to take necessary steps to keep these roads free.
