Free veterinary camps will also be set up at Cattle Mandis by the Livestock Department to assist the public with animal health and welfare.
As part of the sanitation drive, CDA will launch an awareness campaign to educate citizens about the designated spots for animal waste disposal. The Sanitation Directorate will ensure prompt collection and disposal of waste to maintain hygiene standards across the city.
Chairman CDA and Chief Commissioner Islamabad, along with DG Civil Defense, emphasized that Eid-ul-Adha is not only a time of faith and devotion but also fosters unity, compassion, and economic activity. They reiterated the administration’s commitment to creating a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for residents during the festivities.
