BJP MLAs oppose abattoir in Haridwar

Friday, 01 November 2019 | PNS | Haridwar

Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs in Haridwar have opposed steps taken by the district administration to purportedly pave the way for opening of a slaughter house in Manglaur area of Haridwar district. They have opposed a report sent by the district administration to the State Government which reportedly supports grounds for opening the abattoir in the area.

BJP MLA from Haridwar Rural, Yateeshwaranand, Laksar MLA Sanjay Gupta and Jwalapur MLA Suresh Rathore addressed the media here on Thursday objecting to the plan for opening a slaughter house in the district.

The MLAs said that various social organisations and religious bodies had supported the closure of abattoirs in the district but the district administration appears to be paving the way for opening a new slaughter house in Manglaur.

Addressing the media at Ved Mandir here, the MLAs said that Haridwar is associated with pilgrimage and religious activities.

Most of the local residents are not in favour of opening a slaughter house.

On the one hand, the Government is supposed to be working to protect bovines as per the law while on the other hand, officials are paving the way for opening a slaughter house in Haridwar district, which is questionable, said the MLAs.
