Waste collection and disposal activities continued throughout the three days, ensuring that no pending cases accumulated in any sector or locality.
Apart from sanitation measures, the administration also monitored traffic conditions across the capital. According to the report, traffic flow remained smooth on major roads and highways during all three days of Eid despite increased movement of residents and visitors.
