Govt asks DNCC, DSCC to deploy sanitation workers in two daytime shifts

The government has directed the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) and the Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) to deploy sanitation workers in two daytime shifts to strengthen cleanliness activities and ensure timely removal of waste to build a clean city.

The Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives issued the directive on Wednesday.

According to the ministry, maintaining a clean and livable Dhaka requires the prompt collection and disposal of garbage and waste generated throughout the city.

As large numbers of people gather in different parts of the capital during the day, enhanced sanitation efforts are needed to improve cleanliness, public health and the overall urban environment.

To this end, the ministry instructed the two city corporations to conduct cleaning and waste management operations through the deployment of sanitation workers in two daytime shifts.
