KARACHI: Minister of Information and Municipality Sindh Syed Nasir Hussain Shah has said that the SoPs pertaining to the forthcoming Eidul Azha have been given final shape.

The provincial minister said the federal government has now formulated a policy to promote mass sacrifices of animals, which will apply to all provinces including Sindh.

In Sindh, we have also taken steps to organize mass sacrifices at specific places under the guidelines given by the federal government, which will allow the sacrifice of animals at specific places in all districts and to arrange sacrifices at each UC level.

All deputy commissioners, MCs and municipal representatives will take steps to prevent the trend of individual sacrifice under a mutually agreed strategy.

According to Nasir Shah, the Solid West department will take the responsibility of bringing the offal of sacrificial animals to the landfill site and no one will be allowed to throw or dump the waste on the road or highway.

"We have appealed to the public to prioritize the mass sacrifice organized by mosques, Imambargah, and schools in their areas to prevent society from both corona and filth," the provincial minister said.

Nasir Hussain Shah appealed to the public to avoid public gatherings and rush in the wake of the country's fragile situation and to perform Eid prayers and other duties as per SOPS advised by the government.
