Sep 17, 2015
Multan: No one will be allowed to collect hides of sacrificial animals on Eidul Azha without permission of the district government, Dera Ghazi Khan DPO Ghulam Mubashir Maikan said on Wednesday.
 
Talking to newsmen, he said cases would be registered under anti-terrorism laws against banned organisations that collected hides.
 
“If a welfare organisation wants to collect hides, an application in this regard should be submitted to the DCO’s office. They will be issued no objection certificates,” he said.
 
“Under the National Action Plan, unauthorised collection of hides has been banned. Action will be taken against banned organisations collecting hides under different names,” he said.
 
He said that special intelligence teams had been constituted to monitor the collection of hides on Eid.
