Anand gave the directive at a coordination meeting aimed to ensure a peaceful and clean celebration of the festival across the city.
During the meeting, Anand discussed several important points including curbing illegal animal transportation.
Vehicles found violating these rules are to be seized and immediately sent to GHMC-designated animal holding points or goshalas, he instructed.
The Commissioner appealed to the public and Gorakshak members not to take the law into their own hands, emphasising that only government officials and law enforcement agencies are authorised to stop or inspect vehicles carrying animals.
The Animal Husbandry Department and GHMC were requested to ensure the availability of 24/7 veterinary doctors at all check posts. Anand iterated that only assigned police personnel, GHMC, and Animal Husbandry Department staff would be present at the check posts.
He suggested forming local, zonal, and commissionerate-level coordination teams comprising officials from all departments for better coordination and response.
The GHMC officials were advised to deploy dog catching squads in all areas before Bakhri Eid to manage stray dogs.
They were also instructed to supply disposal covers to every household for the disposal of animal carcasses.
Special teams are to be deployed on the festival day for the collection of garbage and carcasses, the Commissioner said, and asked the GHMC to arrange adequate vehicles, tippers, and JCBs for efficient collection and disposal of animal waste, and ensure sufficient staff for waste removal during Bakhri Eid.
The Electricity and Engineering departments were directed to ensure uninterrupted power supply during the festival to prevent any inconvenience to the public.
The RTA officials were asked to ensure the availability of sufficient drivers, mechanics, and cranes.
GHMC Commissioner R.V. Karnan detailed the extensive sanitation measures being implemented, including the deployment of additional sanitation teams and garbage collection vehicles near wards and mosques.
He assured that garbage bags would be readily available and GHMC officials would be actively performing their duties. UNI KNR SSP
