Wana
South Waziristan: Syedullah Khan Wazir, who is present at the Wana cattle market in South Waziristan,
said that the prices of sacrificial animals have gone up significantly this year as compared to last year, which is not affordable for everyone.
As Eid-ul-Azha approaches, the prices of sacrificial animals have skyrocketed. On the other hand, the skyrocketing inflation has made the general public helpless, so the cattle market in Wana is not as crowded as it was last year.
He said that due to the spread of Lumpy Skin disease and Congo virus in animals, people are scared and reluctant to take animals for Eid sacrifice.
In addition, residents of the area do not come to the cattle market due to fear of Lumpy skin and Congo virus
However, due to the closure of the Pak-Afghan border Angoor adda Gate, the number of sacrificial animals has become very limited. At the same time, soaring prices have left the general public helpless, so animal prices have risen sharply this year. Various people present in the cattle market have demanded this from the higher authorities
That for the sake of Saint Ibrahim, the ban on Eid-ul-Adha animals should be lifted at Angoor Adda Gate.
And the livestock department was appealed to carry out lumpy skin and Congo virus spray in the cattle market on an emergency basis.
Dr. Naveed Sultan, Assistant Director, Livestock Department, South Waziristan, told the media, That our local staff is spraying the cattle market in Wana on a daily basis and the traders and General public are being repeatedly informed to take precautionary measures in this regard.
