Quetta: Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Sarfraz Bugti, in an official statement, said that Balochistan is steadily becoming a safe province not only for humans but also for animals. He stated that clear and strict directives have been issued to the Quetta Metropolitan Corporation (QMC) to ensure that dogs and cats are not killed under any circumstances and that fake or substandard vaccines are not administered.
The Chief Minister emphasized that international-standard TNVR (Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Release) policy has been implemented in Quetta to manage the population of stray dogs and cats through a scientific, humane, and globally recognized method. This approach focuses on sustainable animal population control while ensuring public health safety.
Mir Sarfraz Bugti further stated that the implementation process is being carried out with the cooperation of animal welfare organization “Panah Quetta,” which is actively supporting the authorities in animal handling, vaccination, neutering, and safe release across the city.
He added that this initiative will play a significant role in the prevention of rabies and other zoonotic diseases, while also strengthening animal welfare standards and protecting public health. The Chief Minister reaffirmed the provincial government’s commitment to enforcing international SOPs, transparency, and humane practices in all animal management programs.
