Ahmedabad: All India Milli Council, Gujarat has appealed to the state government to direct municipalities across the state to carry out complete cleaning of garbage and dump yards ahead of the Eid -ul-Adha or Baqrid on October 6.
It has also requested the government to provide a complaint cell to carry out follow up.
Pointing out that Eid is one of the most important festivals for Muslims and how it aims at bringing in discipline among self and for the community, Milli Council’s president Mufti Rizwan Tarapuri and state general secretary and senior journalist Abdulhafiz Lakhani said, “Unfortunately, our brothers always throw the wastages on the streets and on the road side. This act sets bad example among others. Islam emphasises that Muslims should maintain cleanliness in daily routine life as Prophet Mohammed (P.B.U.H) said ‘Cleanliness is half of the Faith’ (Imaan)”.
They also demanded that the government should supply animals (for sacrifice) through the Animalba Husbandry Department to save the common Muslims from black marketers, seasonal traders and brokers.
On the occasion of Eid, people from villages migrate to the city and camp on roads. “They burn heads and legs of goats causing air pollution and make it difficult to the passersby to move on road. Therefore, we demand that the government involve local police station to stop this nuisance,” Lakhani added
