As Nagpur gears up for Eid al-Adha, the city is witnessing a surge of sacrificial animals — with over 35,000 goats and around 500 buffaloes expected to arrive. In response, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has kicked off an aggressive action plan to keep the festival clean, safe, and disease-free.
Dedicated waste collection vehicles have been dispatched across key localities to handle the massive spike in animal waste. “We’re working round the clock to prevent any public health risk,” said a civic official. Residents are urged to use designated disposal points and avoid illegal dumping.
Meanwhile, vets have been deployed at all major slaughterhouses to ensure only healthy animals are sacrificed. Each animal undergoes a health check and receives a clearance certificate. “No certificate, no sacrifice,” the official warned.
The Bhandewadi slaughterhouse has been designated exclusively for buffaloes and will be under close civic surveillance.
Looking beyond the festival, the NMC also announced a major environmental push — the construction of a 25 KLD Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) at the troubled Gaddigodam slaughterhouse, long criticized for pollution and unregulated waste discharge.
With markets buzzing and footfall rising, the NMC has stepped up street cleaning, public awareness campaigns, and sanitation rounds. The goal? A peaceful Eid al-Adha celebrated with dignity — and without the mess.
