The Punjab government has implemented a ban on non-registered NGOs from collecting hides of sacrificial animals during Eidul Azha, as reported by a Private TV channel.
The provincial home department has issued directives to all deputy commissioners and police, stipulating that only registered NGOs will be permitted to gather the hides. City administrations are instructed not to allow unauthorized collection of hides without the requisite permission and a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the relevant authorities, in accordance with the Punjab government’s guidelines.
Charity organizations desiring to collect sacrificial animal hides are instructed to submit applications to the offices of deputy commissioners to obtain the necessary permission letter. The Home Department has officially prohibited the collection of hides without the approval of the competent authority.
This move by the Punjab government aims to regulate and streamline the collection of sacrificial animal hides during the festive occasion of Eidul Azha. By restricting the collection to registered NGOs, the government intends to ensure transparency and accountability in the process.
The directive emphasizes the importance of obtaining proper permission and a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the authorities concerned. This requirement is aimed at preventing unauthorized individuals or organizations from engaging in the collection of hides. By enforcing this rule, the Punjab government seeks to protect the rights of citizens and maintain law and order during the Eidul Azha festivities.
To facilitate the process, charity organizations interested in collecting sacrificial animal hides are instructed to submit applications to the offices of deputy commissioners. These applications will be reviewed by the competent authority, and upon approval, the organizations will be granted the necessary permission letter.
The Home Department’s ban on unauthorized collection of hides serves as a reminder to individuals and organizations to comply with the regulations and seek the appropriate approvals. This measure will not only ensure a fair distribution of resources but also contribute to the welfare of the community by preventing exploitation and unauthorized activities.
It is worth noting that the Punjab government’s decision aligns with its ongoing efforts to strengthen governance, promote transparency, and protect the rights of its citizens. By implementing these measures, the government aims to foster a sense of trust and confidence among the public while maintaining control over the collection and distribution of sacrificial animal hides during Eidul Azha.
