The Punjab government has instituted a stringent mandate requiring prior approval for the collection of sacrificial animal hides during EidulAzha in Attock. Deputy Commissioner Rao Atif Raza announced the directive, emphasizing strict adherence to the plan and warning of legal consequences for violators.
In a press briefing on Sunday, Deputy Commissioner Rao Atif Raza outlined the measures imposed by the provincial government to regulate the collection of sacrificial animal hides. Under the new regulations, welfare organizations and other entities must obtain prior approval, known as a No Objection Certificate (NOC), to engage in the collection process.
Mr. Raza emphasized the importance of compliance, stating that the district administration had been instructed to rigorously enforce the government’s directives. Any individual or organization found collecting hides without the requisite permission will face legal repercussions.
Charity organizations intending to participate in the collection effort are required to submit their applications to the respective assistant commissioners of the town in which they operate. Regarding public health concerns, Mr. Raza assured the implementation of special measures to mitigate.
