Islamabad administration strictly restricted any sale or purchase of Qurbani animals before official opening dates. Officials warned that any market operating outside approved zones will be deemed illegal and dismantled.
Special monitoring teams have been deployed and have already started clearing unauthorized animal sale points. Authorities noted that illegal setups often lead to hygiene issues and cause disturbances in residential areas.
Each of five authorized markets will be equipped with necessary facilities, including clean drinking water, power supply, and clearly marked entry and exit points. Veterinary teams will also be present to check the health of animals and ensure safe, regulated trade.
