On the eve of Eid-ul-Azha, Livestock and Dairy Development has set up a tick-dusting veterinary picket at Chamba point in the district of Abbottabad to combat the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus.

Akbar Ali, the district's director of livestock and dairy development, has given district officers and paramedics responsibilities for containing the spread of animal diseases including the Congo virus.

To safeguard the cattle from these dangerous diseases, checkpoints have been set up, and staff has been told to spray the cattle before they approach the markets.

Under the direction of Dr. Sajid Hameed, the personnel of the Havelian Veterinary Hospital—including the assistant veterinarian and six other members—would carry out the task for 24 hours.

The sacrificed animals coming from Punjab and the rest of the nation to be sold in Abbottabad area are being sprayed by vets.
