Jamaldini said the construction of the camel farm would be completed in time. He directed the divisional director to present the report of the damaged building of the civil veterinary dispensary soon so that it could be reconstructed.

“Livestock breeding, particularly that of camels has been affected because of the recent drought,” he noted.

“The camel farm will help increase trade. The veterinary dispensary will ensure that livestock are provided with treatment.”

The livestock secretary said the camel farm was the only one of its kind in the region. Camel milk will be packed and supplied to other parts of the country.
