Commissioner Aamir Khattak Leads Efforts Against Congo Virus

As Eid ul Azha draws near, it is crucial for everyone to be aware of the potential risks associated with the Congo virus. The Livestock Department, led by Commissioner Rawalpindi Division, Engineer Aamir Khattak, is actively engaged in efforts to prevent the spread of diseases during this festive season.

To manage the movement of animals during Eid-ul-Adha, the district administration has taken proactive measures. Free veterinary services are being offered at designated sale points, with mobile veterinary dispensaries providing essential medicines. Public awareness campaigns on animal welfare are being conducted through loudspeakers to educate the community.

The Livestock Department is working diligently to ensure the availability of anti-tick spray, antibiotics, and other necessary medications. Check posts have been set up across provinces and districts to carry out animal spraying and isolate sick animals. Additionally, strict monitoring of slaughterhouses and butcher shops is being enforced.

Commissioner Aamir Khattak has issued directives to guarantee the presence of trained livestock personnel, an ample supply of medicines, and the relocation of cattle markets away from densely populated areas to safeguard public health.

It is essential for everyone to cooperate with the authorities and follow the guidelines provided to prevent the spread of diseases like the Congo virus. By taking necessary precautions and staying informed, we can ensure a safe and healthy Eid ul Azha celebration for all.
