To ensure cleanliness and public health during Eid-ul-Azha, the Punjab government has implemented strict measures against improper disposal of animal waste. Under Section 144, it is now prohibited to discard animal remains in canals and drains throughout the province. This decision was made in a high-level meeting led by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, focusing on security and sanitation for the upcoming religious festival.
Additionally, a ban has been placed on the illegal practice of burning animal heads and feet to further protect public health and safety. Control rooms at the provincial, divisional, district, and tehsil levels have been activated to monitor and enforce these regulations.
