Commissioner Rawalpindi Division, Engineer Aamir Khattak here on Tuesday directed the authorities concerned not to allow anyone to set up illegal cattle markets.
Chairing a Divisional Coordination Committee meeting held here, he said that special attention should be given to Standard Operating Procedures and inspection of the cattle markets.
The commissioner directed the deputy commissioners to send assistant commissioners to the cattle markets on a daily basis and and resolve complaints of the citizens urgently.
He further instructed the authorities that there should be no traffic jam problem due to cattle markets in any area.
Strict action would be taken against the administrative officers concerned in case of illegal cattle markets near residential areas, he warned.
He asked the deputy commissioners to impose Section-144 and take legal action against the violators, and directed the price magistrates to control profiteering particularly on food items on this sacred occasion.
