Rawalpindi: Residents in Rawalpindi have raised serious concerns over the use of open trucks for collecting poultry waste, urging authorities to impose a ban on such practices without proper covering or containment.
According to citizens, vehicles collecting chicken waste—including feathers, intestines, and other by-products—from local shops often operate with open tubs.
As these trucks move through residential areas, they emit a strong foul odor and spread contaminated liquids, creating an unhealthy environment.
Locals report that the exposed waste not only causes severe discomfort for pedestrians and motorcyclists but also poses significant health risks. The spread of bacteria and germs from untreated poultry waste can contribute to diseases and environmental pollution.
Residents have called on the city administration and relevant authorities to enforce strict regulations, requiring all poultry waste collection vehicles to be properly covered or sealed.
They emphasize that such measures are essential to protect public health and maintain cleanliness in urban areas.
Citizens hope that timely action will be taken to ensure these vehicles operate under hygienic conditions and do not endanger the well-being of the community.
