Chandigarh: All the deputy commissioners in the state have been asked to check the illegal slaughtering in their respective districts and send the action taken report to the urban local bodies department within a month after inspecting the abattoirs.

Member of the committee Naresh Kadian, informed the committee meeting participants that no meeting of district committee for slaughter houses was being conducted by the deputy commissioners and they be directed to hold the regular meetings and send the minutes of meeting to the ULBD and the same be put up before the state committee for slaughter houses. Senior scientific advisor, Haryana pollution control board, pointed out at the meeting that out of 44 slaughter houses in the state, only four were functional and the rest were closed down due to non compliance of the Central pollution control board. It was felt that as banning slaughter houses were not stopping indiscriminate and unregulated slaughter, HSPCB called the agencies which were earlier operating the slaughter houses and guided them to remove deficiencies. While the representative of animal husbandry department informed the committee that prevention of cruelty to animals (establishment and regulation of society for prevention of cruelty to animals) rules 2001 had been notified and the societies for prevention of cruelty to animals Act (SPCAs) had been formed in every district, it was pointed out that most of the societies were not functioning.
