What happened in Kot Lakhpat
On 30 October the Punjab Food Authority (PFA) discarded 900kg of unsafe meat taken from a beef shop and confiscated the supplier’s vehicle. The enforcement team acted under Director General Raja Mansoor Ahmad. A veterinary specialist inspected the stock and declared it unfit for human consumption.
The operation is a straightforward enforcement step aimed at keeping hazardous beef off local counters. Officials linked the haul to a shop that had received the meat for sale.
Why the meat was rejected
The meat safety team reported a foul smell, a discoloured look and signs of lumpy skin disease. Investigation, according to the authority, showed that sick animals were being illegally slaughtered and that their meat was being prepared for the market.
The DG said the beef was recovered from the shop and discarded at once once the veterinary specialist judged it hazardous. That sequence—inspection, declaration of unfitness, then disposal—is how the raid was described.
Official response and next steps
Raja Mansoor Ahmad said selling unsafe meat is a serious offence and warned that legal action would follow against anyone involved in food adulteration and fraudulent practices. He also said the Punjab Food Authority remains committed to safe, healthy food for citizens.
No further case details—such as charges filed or a fine amount—were given beyond the seizure, the vehicle confiscation and the public warning. Residents who buy beef in and around Kot Lakhpat should treat this raid as a reminder that unfit stock can still reach shops before inspectors intervene.
Aasan alfaaz mein
Lahore ke Kot Lakhpat mein Punjab Food Authority ne ek beef shop se 900 kilogram kharab gosht nikal kar phenk diya. Doctor ne check karke kaha ke yeh gosht khane ke laiq nahi tha. Supplier ki gaari bhi zabt kar li gayi. Logon ke liye matlab yeh hai ke market se meat lete waqt sirf sasta nahi, safe aur saaf gosht ka khayal rakhna zaroori hai.
