DERA GHAZI KHAN: The Punjab government has launched a scheme to provide livestock cards to the farmers under which interest-free loans and other privileges would be available to them.
In this regard, a meeting was held with Commissioner Dr Nasir Mahmood Bashir in the chair.
The commissioner said that the division, especially Koh-eSuleman range, had a unique identity regarding the quality of livestock, hence, it was necessary to make the scheme successful for the development of livestock and the prosperity of cattle breeders.
About 11,000 cows and buffaloes would be given free of cost to the widows or divorced women up to 55 years of age in rural areas in South Punjab, for which 23,879 applications had been received from the division.
Special help counters had been set up in the livestock offices along with online receipt of applications.
