Srinagar, Sep 01 (KNO): Over a month after the Punjab Government appointed Nodal Officers across districts to facilitate livestock trade, the Kashmir Mutton Dealers Association on Monday expressed skepticism, saying no visible measures have been implemented on the ground so far.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mehraj-ud-din Ganaie, General Secretary of the Kashmir Mutton Dealers Association, told the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), that although the government announced steps on August 01, traders are yet to see any real progress.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing has been done on the ground yet. No committee has been formed and no practical measures have come into force,\u201d Mehraj said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Earlier, on August 01, the Punjab Government awarded Rs 92.56 crore contract to Al Baber Marketing Private Limited for organizing cattle fairs for 2025\u201326 and announced the appointment of Nodal Officers at district levels, particularly in border areas, to oversee livestock movement and resolve disputes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The officers were tasked with verifying transport documents, ensuring compliance and acting on complaints.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While the association at that time thanked both the Punjab and J&K Governments for engaging with traders, Ganaie maintained that implementation remains the real challenge. \u201cUnless measures are enforced on the ground, the problems faced by livestock dealers will continue,\u201d he said\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
