Dr. Cheema emphasized that no applications will be accepted after the May 31 deadline, and any individual or organization collecting hides without prior approval will face legal action.

The measures are part of a broader effort to regulate charitable activities during Eidul Azha, ensuring that resources are collected transparently and securely, and to prevent misuse by proscribed organizations.
