Streets Of Dhaka Turn To Rivers Of Blood

Pouring rain coupled with animal sacrifices all over the city of Dhaka in Bangladesh have created a disturbing scene.

As rainwater built up on the roads of Dhaka and flooded many parts of the capital it got mixed with the bloody effluent from animal sacrifices marking the Islamic celebration of Eid al-Adha on Tuesday.

Citizens said the incident showed how the cities corporations had failed to keep the drainage systems functional and had paid no attention to the matter before the Eid festival.

RT reports:

Thousands of sheep, goats and cows are slaughtered as part of the annual Muslim holiday marking the end of Dhu al-Hiijah and their meat is traditionally distributed to the poor. However, heavy rain on Tuesday, combined with the city’s poor drainage, has resulted in highly unsanitary conditions.

Images and videos shared online show the shocking scene as residents try to get on with their day-to-day lives despite the bloodied waters around them.

The conditions didn’t stop people from attending mosque and continuing with the sacrifices, according to India Today.

Khandker Millatul Islam, deputy chief waste management official from Dhaka South City Corporation, said that waterlogging has been a problem for a long time and that the corporation was working to resolve the issue.

Citizens have criticized the clean-up efforts of the two city corporations. The agencies in turn accuse residents of using areas close to their homes for sacrifices instead of the locations designated for the religious activity.

The two city corporations designated 1,000 areas – 496 in the north and 504 in the south – for slaughtering animals. However, locals say they were not aware of the selected sacrifice sites as there was not enough done prior to the festival to spread awareness.

“Last year the city corporations launched a mass campaign to encourage people to use the designated spots and that caught our eyes. I went to a spot in Mohammadpur last year, but this year, I don’t even know where the spots actually are,” one resident told The Dhaka Tribune.

Other people pointed out that the chosen spots were too far from their homes.

Eid celebrations began Monday and continue until Thursday. The religious festival is also known as the Feast of Sacrifice and commemorates the Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son to Allah.

  1. Revelation 16:3 Context

    1And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. 3And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. 4And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 6For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
