The central market for sacrificial animals in Karachi will have a network of CCTV cameras for security monitoring from a dedicated command and control room. The cattle market is to be set up on 1,200 acres in Taiser Town at the Northern Bypass.

The organisers have vowed to introduce Smart Digital Cards to be available at the entrance for the convenience of the buyers and other visitors. ‘Smart Cow Mandi’ is the term being used by the organisers to describe this year’s cattle market.

Contingents of Rangers soldiers, police officials and private security guards will be deployed within the limits of the cattle market to ensure strict security measures.
