Governor Mullah Noor Ahmad Islam Jar said at the opening ceremony that the newly inaugurated slaughterhouse would work in a standard manner and provide healthy meat to the people.

He underlined that people reserved the right to consume healthy meat and all the batchers must strictly follow the standards.

Meanwhile, Maulvi Sadr-i-Azam Usmani, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, termed supporting the private sector as one of the key steps of the ministry.
