ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Interior has worked out proposals for granting permission for establishment of sacrificial animal markets in
the country amid the coronavirus pandemic. According to the proposals, sacrificial animal markets will be established in all major cities of the country. These markets will be set up at the entry or exit points of cities.
There will be a complete ban on open sale of sacrificial animals within cities. Besides, security personnel will be deployed at the entrance to markets.
The ministry said proposals for Eid-ul-Azha prayers will be thrashed out after consultation with ulema. Proposals have also been worked out for disposal of offal and waste of sacrificial animals.
