According to the notice, slaughtering animals at undesignated places is now strictly prohibited, and non-compliance may result in monetary penalties.

DHA I-R has established sector-wise slaughterhouse locations fully equipped for proper and hygienic animal slaughter. While the authority permits home Qurbani for small animals only, all larger animals—including cows, bulls, and camels—must be slaughtered exclusively at the designated sites.

Authorities have urged all residents to cooperate and use the designated slaughter facilities to avoid penalties.
