LAHORE: The Horse and Cattle Show will open at the Fortress Stadium here on Sunday (today).

“This grand event will highlight Punjab’s rich cultural heritage and the province’s continued progress and prosperity. Preparations for the event were going on for the past four months, bringing together the diverse colours of Punjab,” said Senior Provincial Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb who was accompanied by Information and Culture Minister Azma Bokhari at a presser.

Eighty local and 14 national teams will participate, turning it into a grand national celebration,” the minister said and added that the public could enjoy the event live on the PTV and other TV channels from their homes.
