Corporation approval for Rupees 2.62 crore abattoir
KOCHI: The Kochi corporation has approved the plan for setting up a Rs 2.62-crore slaughterhouse at Mattancherry.
The abattoir will be set up on public-private-partnership (PPP) basis.
A private agency, Virgo Aqua, has been entrusted with the task of
preparing a detailed project report, tender document, design and
estimate for the project.
“As the project is being executed on
the PPP basis, the corporation will not have to undertake any financial
burden. Since the corporation council has given its nod, we will submit
the project before the government for approval,” said mayor Tony
Chammany.
Dr J Abraham, a veterinary expert, will monitor the
implementation of the project. He will also be the advisor to the
corporation. At the council meeting, Virgo Aqua made a presentation of
the proposed slaughterhouse.
