The Peshawar High Court on Thursday declared that the ban on cattle and poultry transportation to Afghanistan would continue until their supply and prices normalized in the local market.

A bench consisting of Chief Justice Qaiser Rashid Khan and Justice Mohammad Nasir Mahfooz also ordered the inspector general of the Frontier Corps to cooperate with the Pakistan Customs for checking the cattle and poultry smuggling to the neighbouring country.

It gave deputy commissioners of the districts along the border three weeks to submit reports about steps taken to implement its orders.

The bench fixed Sept 9 for the next hearing into two petitions filed by citizens Hafeezur Rehman and Malik Sheharyar on high prices of dairy products, adulteration of milk and other issues.

The court had ordered the deputy commissioners in May to stop the transportation of poultry products and their smuggling to Afghanistan. In June, it again ordered the administrative officers of different districts to ensure the checking of cattle smuggling to Afghanistan.
