In preparation for Eid-ul-Azha, the Punjab Home Department has established a control room to maintain law and order and ensure the implementation of government directives throughout the province.
This control room will operate around the clock, gathering reports from all districts to maintain effective oversight during the Eid holidays.
Under the supervision of senior officers, the control room will remain active throughout the holiday period to ensure that all activities comply with government regulations. The department has also announced stringent measures to control various activities during Eid.
A significant measure includes prohibiting banned organizations from collecting sacrificial animal hides. Only organizations registered with the Charity Commission will be authorized to collect these hides, as confirmed by a department spokesperson.
This step aims to ensure that the proceeds from the sacrificial skins are used responsibly and in compliance with the law.
Additionally, the Home Department has banned the burning of heads and trotters of sacrificial animals in public places during Eid. To further ensure public safety, bathing and boating in rivers, streams, and dams will be strictly prohibited during the Eid holidays.
Furthermore, Section 144 will be enforced to prevent the improper disposal of animal waste. Throwing animal excrement into manholes or canals will be strictly forbidden to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in public areas.
