In light of Eid al-Adha, the Punjab Home Department has implemented Section 144 throughout the region as part of several short-term regulations designed to protect public health, maintain law and order, and promote environmental cleanliness. These rules will apply from Thursday, June 5 through Wednesday, June 11, according to Section 144(6) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898. According to an official notice, burning sacrificial animal parts—specifically heads and feet—in open spaces is now forbidden. Additionally, disposing of carcass remnants like entrails into sewers, wells, streams, or other aquatic environments is strictly prohibited to stop contamination and related health issues. Unauthorized establishment of provisional livestock trading zones or sales spots for sacrificial creatures is likewise barred; only pre-approved venues are acceptable to guarantee appropriate sanitary conditions and manage crowds effectively. Further prohibitions encompass refraining from engaging in swimming, wading, or boating within provincial waters including rivers, channels, reservoirs, and ponds over the stipulated timeframe. Such precautions aim to minimize drownings and boost overall holiday safety. Displaying guns publicly or carrying munitions is entirely outlawed via Section 144 to shield tranquility and stability amid festivities. A representative from the Punjab Home Office stated that these policies were established to secure lives, sustain societal discipline, and elevate hygienic standards around waste handling. They emphasized that these practices present significant dangers to well-being besides causing widespread unease among citizens. Moreover, groups deemed illegal cannot gather leather from sacrificed animals. Instead, recognized aid associations listed with the Punjab Welfare Foundation alone hold permission to do so, fostering accountability alongside adherence to statutory mandates. District governance units along with police forces received directives mandating rigorous application of these edicts coupled with punitive actions towards those breaching them.
