Livestock card holders urged to clear outstanding dues
FAISALABAD, Jul 05 (APP):Additional Director Livestock Faisalabad Rubina Anjum has urged livestock farmers to immediately clear all outstanding loans and other liabilities obtained under the Phase-I Livestock Card Scheme by depositing dues at the Bank of Punjab, otherwise, the defaulters would not be eligible to benefit from the upcoming Phase-II programme.
Appealing to livestock breeders and farmers, she said that Punjab government had almost completed preparations for the launch of Phase-II Livestock Card Scheme, under which only those beneficiaries who had fully repaid their Phase-I financial obligations within the prescribed timeframe would qualify for fresh assistance.
She said that livestock farmers who had yet to repay loans or other outstanding liabilities under the first phase should deposit their dues without delay at the Bank of Punjab branches to avoid disqualification from the new scheme.
Rubina Anjum said that Livestock Card Program had been launched to provide livestock farmers with easy access to financial assistance for purchasing fodder, animal feed, vaccines and meeting other essential livestock management expenses, thereby enhancing milk and meat production while strengthening the rural economy.
She urged livestock breeders to take full advantage of the government’s initiative by fulfilling the prescribed conditions and completing their outstanding payments at the earliest.
She warned that the farmers who remained in default would not only be deprived of the benefits available under the Phase-II Livestock Card Scheme but could also face difficulties in availing themselves of future government financial assistance programs.
The livestock farmers seeking further information or guidance should contact the district offices of Livestock Department or the department’s helpline at 08000-9211 for assistance, she added
