KARACHI: President Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI), Muhammad Jawed Bilwani, has extended heartfelt appreciation to Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab and the Sindh Government for their commendable efforts in ensuring exemplary cleanliness across the city during Eid ul Azha by swiftly and effectively disposing of sacrificial animal offals and waste.
In a statement issued, President KCCI stated, “The Karachi Chamber highly appreciates the proactive approach and well-coordinated sanitation operations carried out by Mayor Karachi and the relevant departments of the Sindh Government. The timely clearance of offals and animal waste, despite the huge volume of sacrifices, has significantly contributed to maintaining public hygiene, protecting the environment, and ensuring the comfort of citizens throughout the Eid holidays.”
Muhammad Jawed Bilwani noted that in previous years, Karachi had witnessed serious challenges in waste disposal during Eid ul Azha, leading to health hazards, foul stench, and a deteriorated urban environment. “However, this year, the visible improvement in planning, execution, and monitoring of the sanitation drive is praiseworthy and deserves full recognition. The city remained clean, with no major complaints from any district, this is a first in many years,” he added.
He particularly praised the quick response teams, sanitary workers, and officers of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC), Sindh Solid Waste Management Board (SSWMB), and other civic bodies who worked around the clock to manage the daunting task efficiently. “Their dedication, even during Eid days, reflects a renewed commitment to civic responsibility and public service,” he remarked.
President KCCI also acknowledged the importance of the Mayor’s pre-Eid awareness campaign and the strategic deployment of additional machinery, vehicles, and manpower across all seven districts of Karachi. “The use of technology, helplines, and social media updates further facilitated effective public engagement and grievance redressal,” he added.
He expressed hope that such successful coordination between city administration and provincial authorities would continue in the future, not only for Eid but also in managing other civic issues, such as water supply, sewerage, encroachments, traffic regulation, and solid waste management on a regular basis
