The mayor added that fumigation sprays and water and lime sprinkling are being carried out across the city to control odor and bacteria caused by heat, heatwaves, and sacrificial animal waste.

Special bags for the safe disposal of offal are also being distributed free of charge. Citizens can obtain them from the established camps, various mosques, and UC offices.

He appealed to citizens to place offal in the provided bags instead of dumping it on roads or streets, and to cooperate fully with municipal staff to keep the city clean, beautiful, and free of pollution.

“Improving the city requires practical action from citizens. The mayor alone cannot do it. You all must support us. Making Sukkur clean, green, and vibrant is our shared responsibility,” he said, reiterating that all available resources would be utilized to provide the best municipal services during Eid-ul-Adha.

He further announced that Bachal Amusement Park would be reopened this year with full facilities for public recreation, and 12 new recreational parks would also be opened soon.

He said that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is expected to inaugurate the Qureshi Goth overhead bridge and other development projects in January 2027.
