The Islamabad Food Authority recently carried out a big raid at a facility in Tarnol and discovered something shocking 25 maunds of donkey meat, which is more than 900 kilograms, and over 50 live donkeys kept at the same place.
Officials said that their first investigation shows this meat was being prepared to send abroad. This means people were trying to export donkey meat, which is illegal and dangerous for public health.
A foreigner who was present at the facility was caught and handed over to the police for further questioning. Meanwhile, the meat that was found at the site is being properly destroyed so that it does not reach the market or anyone’s food plate.
A case has already been filed against all the people involved in this illegal business. Now, the authorities are trying to find out where this donkey meat was supposed to go and who else is part of this network. They are tracing the whole supply chain to make sure such meat does not reach people’s homes ever again.
The Islamabad Food Authority has also warned people to be careful about where they buy their meat and to report any suspicious activities.
This raid has raised serious questions about food safety and illegal meat trade in the area. The officials promised that strict action will be taken against everyone connected to this crime so that the public stays safe and trusts the food they eat.
More raids are expected in the coming days to catch others involved in such activities.
