Administrative officials have launched a vigorous crackdown on unauthorised cattle markets across the metropolis, particularly in District East. The campaign, initiated on the directives of Commissioner Syed Hassan Naqvi, aims to curb the unauthorised establishment of animal markets that pose public health and safety risks.
According to Commissioner Naqvi, operations against illegal cattle markets are being carried out with full force. In District East alone, action has been taken against 41 unauthorised markets, resulting in the registration of 51 FIRs and the arrest of 137 people. Over the past two days, authorities have acted against 22 new illegal cattle markets in the district. During these operations, 21 FIRs were registered and 63 people were taken into custody. Moreover, 17 animals were seized.
Commissioner Naqvi said that illegal cattle markets contribute to serious issues, including traffic congestion, sanitation challenges, and public health risks. He reaffirmed the administration's resolve to ensure that only officially designated cattle markets operate within the metropolis.
"The campaign against illegal markets will continue in the coming days without any leniency," he said.
