The Sindh government has imposed a ban on the collection of animal hides without prior approval (NOC) from relevant authorities. According to sources, the ban covers the entire province and requires permission from commissioners and deputy commissioners for the collection of sacrificial animal hides. A directive issued by the Sindh Home Department states that only registered organizations or institutions are allowed to collect these hides.
This move comes as animal hides collected during Eid-ul-Adha serve as a significant source of income for charitable organizations. In the past, issues such as forced collection and disputes over hides have been reported, prompting the government to establish regulations for this practice.
