MULTAN, July 6 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 06th Jul, 2017 ) : Commissioner Bilal Ahmad Butt Thursday ordered formation of a joint task force to launch a crackdown against illegal slaughter houses besides deployment of officials at all entry points of the city to check and register entry of diseased animals.
