As the festive season of Eid ul Azha approaches, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has taken a major step by dropping the fees for sacrificial animals incoming the cattle market. This decision, made during a KMC general council meeting chaired by Mayor Murtaza Wahab and joined by Deputy Mayor Salman Abdullah Murad and Municipal Commissioner SM Afzal Zaidi, aims to ease the community during this thoroughly substantial time.
The council has fixed to lower the fee for sacrificial animals, including cows, bulls, and camels, to Rs600 per animal, down from the previous Rs1,000. Likewise, the fee for goats and sheep has been reduced from Rs500 to Rs300 per animal, making it more affordable for individuals participating in the Eid rituals.
In addition to this, the council has also approved the collection of parking fees from valet services operating outside marriage halls, confirming an efficient approach to handling parking facilities during events.
During the conference, a total of 13 resolutions were passed consistently. These included admiring messages to projecting figures such as Asif Ali Zardari on his election as President of Pakistan, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman on his election as Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, and Asifa Bhutto Zardari on her unopposed election as Member of National Assembly from NA-207 and her appointment as First Lady.
Additionally, the council prolonged congratulations to Najmi Alam on his appointment as Advisor to the Chief Minister of Sindh and Mayor Wahab on his appointment as a spokesman for the government of Sindh.
The KMC’s initiatives not only imitate a spirit of community support but also validate a commitment to improving ease and availability for citizens during important occasions like Eid ul Azha.
