Safety booklets distributed
The Hazara Division Commissioner Riaz Mahsud on Thursday visited the sacrificial animal markets in Havelian and Dhamtoor areas of Abbottabad to review arrangements there and whether the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in the cattle markets were being enforced. Abbottabad Deputy Commissioner Mughees Sanaullah briefed Commissioner Mahsud about the measures taken for the eradication of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) and the Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in the markets of Abbottabad. Mahsud also distributed safety booklets on Covid-19 and directed people to follow SOPs issued by the government for their own safety. The commissioner also stressed upon the need of selling animals in the district government’s established markets rather than from illegal markets.
