Maryam Nawaz Enforces Strict Eid Arrangements in Lahore

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has issued detailed guidelines for Eidul Azha arrangements. Officials are directed to move out of offices and remain in the field during the festival.

She warned against negligence and fined Rs50,000 for dumping animal remains in streets or drains. The sale of sacrificial animals is restricted to designated cattle markets only.

Maryam Nawaz also called for digital monitoring in cattle markets and strong security measures. Banned organizations are not allowed to collect animal hides, with strict security arrangements at sensitive locations.

The use of loudspeakers at collection camps was banned, as were aerial firing displays and loudspeaker use in mosques or gatherings. Mosques and Eid congregations must be prepared with rose water and sanitation across railway colonies, cantonment areas, and private housing societies.

Rewards for top-performing cleanliness teams will be given, and uninterrupted water supply is directed during the holidays. Dumping sites near airports, safety checks for swings in parks, and temporary amusement rides are banned. Cyber patrols will counter hate content on social media, with strict action taken against violations of Eid SOPs.
