The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government Sunday refused to permit hunting of houbara bustard after the centre issued a special hunting permit to a member of the Qatari royal family.
Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak ordered officials of the provincial Wildlife Department to adopt strict measures against violators of the ban.
"The government won't turn the province into a hunting ground on anyones wish," said Ishtiaq Armar, the provincial minister for forests.
Armar said that licence of hunting was provided under rules and regulations. Every province was entitled to its rights after the 18th Amendment in the constitution, he added.
The minister said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan had ordered the provincial government to take every possible step to ensure protection of rare breeds of birds.
The federal government had issued a special hunting permit to a member of the Qatari royal family, Sheikh Abdullah bin Ali Al-Thani, to hunt the migratory bird in Dera Ismail Khan during the hunting season 2016-2017.
