DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Jun 02 (APP):The Livestock Department in Dera Ismail Khan has launched an extensive disinfection campaign at major transit points to prevent the spread of deadly animal diseases ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.

The department emphasized that early detection and prevention are key to safeguarding the livestock sector and supporting a safe and disease-free Eid celebration.
