Veterinary doctors to be present at sale points, cattle markets for vaccination.
As many as 42 veterinary doctors will be present at 21 sale points in Rawalpindi to spray insecticide and inject vaccine to sacrificial animals. The spray and injection for sacrificial animals will be free of cost to minimise chances of spread of ‘Congo Virus’.
The sale points at Girja Road, Adiala Road, Misriyal Road, KRL Road, Gulzar-e-Quaid, Chaklala Ground, Morgah Road, Gulistan Colony, Ghani Road, Bagh-e-Sardaran, Commercial Market, IJ Principal Road, Katarian, Dhoke Hassu, Pirwadhai, Khayaban-e-Sir Syed, Arshi Block, Rawal Road, Chungi No22, Muslim Town, Jhanda Chichi and Satellite Town. The concerned authority has established cattle markets at Rawat, Channi, Adiala and Chakri.
Executive District Officer (EDO) Livestock Dr Arshad Latif told ‘The News’ that they have deputed 2 veterinary doctors at every sale point where they will provide spray and injection for sacrificial animals to stop spread of ‘Congo Virus’.
He said that no doubt, ‘Congo Virus’ spreads through animals but public should not fear coming to sacrificial animals markets. They should take precautionary measures before coming in animal markets or sale points, he advised. Parents are requested not to bring children with them at sale points or markets, he advised. The buyers should wear gloves and cover face with masks before coming to sale points or markets, he warned.
The deadly disease has claimed several lives in the last month, including a doctor from Bahawalpur. So far, there is no policy requiring the animals to be vaccinated before being granted entry into the markets.continue
