“Cleanliness is half of faith so animal waste must be kept in the dustbins or poly bags till the vehicles arranged by Municipal Council Sopore reach the area to collect the garbage. We have already issued orders and we (people and administration) have to keep the town neat and clean,” said Chairperson MC Masrat Kar while taking with Kashmir Despatch.
She said that it is the duty of every citizen to participate in the campaign for cleanliness.
“Sacrifice is for God and also Cleanliness is part of faith so both ways we have please our Lord. Sopore is our town, we should care for its beauty,” she added.
The sanitization teams of MC Sopore have been ordered to keep vehicles ready and collect the animal waste from localities on the day of Eid.
