Sindh Government Implements Ban on Unapproved Hide Collection

The Sindh government has taken a significant step by imposing a ban on the gathering of animal hides without obtaining prior approval from the relevant authorities. This ban, which is applicable throughout the province, requires individuals to obtain permission from commissioners and deputy commissioners before collecting hides from sacrificial animals. According to a directive from the Sindh Home Department, only registered organizations or institutions are allowed to participate in this activity.

This decision comes as a response to the essential role that hides collected during Eid-ul-Adha play in generating income for charitable organizations. Past incidents involving forced collection and disputes over hides have prompted the government to introduce regulations to oversee this practice.

The ban aims to ensure that the collection of animal hides is conducted in an organized and transparent manner, benefiting legitimate charitable organizations. By requiring prior approval, the government seeks to prevent any exploitation or unfair practices related to hide collection.

The Sindh government's ban on unapproved gathering of animal hides reflects a proactive approach to regulate this important aspect of post-Eid-ul-Adha activities. By implementing these measures, the government aims to protect the interests of charitable organizations and promote a fair and ethical process for collecting hides from sacrificial animals.
