Karachi has been grappling with a significant sanitation crisis following the Eid-ul-Adha celebrations, as residents contend with the stench of over 142,000 tonnes of decomposing waste littering the streets. Despite the Sindh Solid Waste Management Board's (SSWMB) efforts to manage waste during the festival, many neighborhoods reported uncollected animal remains days after Eid, leading to public health concerns. The extreme heat exacerbated the situation, with residents struggling to cope with the foul odors. Opposition parties, including Jamaat-e-Islami and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), have criticized the provincial administration for its failure to effectively manage the clean-up, pointing to corruption and incompetence. In response, Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab defended the city's efforts, stating that extensive arrangements were made, including the establishment of collection points and trench disposal systems. However, ongoing complaints from residents indicate that the sanitation infrastructure remains inadequate, raising questions about the city's preparedness for managing waste during major religious events.
