Srinagar, June 25: As Eid-ul-Adha, an important religious festival, draws near, the Nigeen Lake Conservation Organization (NLCO) has called for a collaborative effort with Imams and community leaders to promote cleanliness and environmental preservation during the festivities.
Manzoor Ahmad Wangnoo, President of NLCO, emphasized the significance of maintaining a clean and waste-free environment, with particular attention to water resources and surrounding areas.
He highlighted the need for proper disposal of sacrificial animal remains, especially the skins, urging the public to refrain from discarding them in rivers, streams, or other water bodies.
He stated, “It is our responsibility to protect our natural resources and ensure a clean and hygienic environment for everyone.”
To achieve this goal, Wangnoo called upon Imams and community leaders to establish communication with local authorities, such as the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) or the Lake Conservation & Management Authority (LCMA).
He suggested, “By collaborating with these agencies, we can ensure that animal waste is collected and disposed of appropriately at designated locations.”
NLCO has mobilized a team of dedicated volunteers who are ready to provide guidance and assistance to residents of Srinagar living near water bodies.
These volunteers have been trained to help individuals responsibly and hygienically dispose of waste, minimizing its impact on the environment and preserving the natural beauty of the city.
Wangnoo added, “By working together, we can create a greener, cleaner, and more sustainable environment for present and future generations.”
