Meat row? CM Yogi Adityanath enforcing laws that existed for years -Priyanka Singh

government is doing is simply enforcing rules regarding slaughter and transport of animals. These rules were
hardly wielded by municipal corporations so far.

Under the Uttar Pradesh Municipal Corporation Act, 1959, it is a mandatory service of local bodies to provide
fresh and hygienic meat to people while ensuring construction and regulation of slaughterhouse within city
limits. Sections 421 to 430 lay down rules for functioning of a slaughterhouse, sale of animals and control of

private slaughter houses. REPORTS

As most established slaughterhouses and meat shops were running without licence, there is a big meat crisis
in the state now that rules have been enforced. According to Nagar Palika Parishads, around 140 NEWS LETTER
slaughterhouses and over 50,000 meat shops were running illegally in UP under the nose of officials as no REGISTRATION
one cared to follow the norms.

SUCCESS STORIES
After the famous Lakshmi Narayan Modi vs Union of India case, in which SC ordered all state governments in
2012 to form committees for monitoring modernisation and relocation of slaughterhouses in every city and
ensure that appropriate measures are taken to deal with their solid waste and pollution, the UP Pollution
Control Board (UPPCB) issued closure orders to around 140 illegal slaughterhouses in UP. INTERVIEWS
