HYDERABAD, Jun 06 (APP): The flight safety officer of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has issued an alert regarding the disposal of animal remains during the Eid ul-Azha days.

The PAF emphasized the public to adhere to these guidelines to prevent any unfortunate incidents and ensure a safe Eid ul-Azha for everyone.
