“The Governor of Punjab is pleased to declare the Royal JW Buffalo Farm comprising of 70 acres’ land—- at Mouza Kaliseyan Bhattian, tehsil Safdarabad, District Sheikhupura as a disease-free area in respect of Foot and Mouth Disease subject to health certificate in case of movement of the animal and regular checking of the animals at entry and exit points,” reads an official notification.
