Chandigarh, June 8
The Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh(MCC) yesterday worked out a strategy to check the supply of unhygienic meat in the city.

At a meeting of the Sanitation Committee held today, it was decided to extend the working hours of the civic body slaughter house in the Industrial Area from 6 am to 12 noon. The working hours at present are from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.

It may be recalled that there are about 100 licenced meat sellers in the city. The slaughter house certifies about 250 animals, including sheep, daily.

The committee chairman, Mr Pradeep Chhabra, informed that Medical Officer of Health (MOH) had been asked to conducts raids at meat shops to check the supply of unhygienic meat.

It was alleged that unhygienic meat from neighbouring areas was finding its way to the city.

The MOH, Dr G.C. Bansal, assured the meeting that all Sehaj Safai Kendras (SSKs) would be made operational and the entire city would be “bin-free” by December this year.

The committee approved the purchase of green fodder worth Rs 8.22 lakh for the cows at the cattle pond in the Industrial Area and the gaushala in Sector 25.

An amount of Rs 7.7 lakh was approved for the purchase of brooms and other sanitation items.

The committee members would visit the gaushalas in the city for an on-the-spot assessment of the facilities there as mortality rate among cows was higher in summers, Mr Chhabra added.
