Authorities have strictly prohibited the sale or purchase of Qurbani animals outside these authorized areas or before the official opening dates. Any unauthorized market will be declared illegal and removed.
Monitoring teams have been deployed and are actively clearing illegal animal sale points to maintain public hygiene and prevent disruptions in residential neighborhoods.
All five authorized cattle markets will offer essential facilities such as clean drinking water, electricity, organized entry and exit routes, and the presence of veterinary teams to monitor animal health and ensure safe trading conditions.
