Justice Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta and Justice G. Rohini on Monday directed
the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to remove the
slaughterhouses and illegal encroachment on the roads of Jiyaguda within
three weeks.
Encroachments
D.
Santosh Kumar and others from Jiyaguda had complained to the court that
sheep and goats were being slaughtered on the road and the roads were
being encroached. They contended that the entire 100 feet road was being
used for selling goats and slaughtering sheep.
The
Musi river bed was being dumped with filth. The GHMC said the
slaughterhouses from Jiyaguda had been shifted to modern slaughterhouses
and some sheds and small buildings were being used by merchants for
selling sheep.
The court was told that GHMC sought
police assistance to remove encroachments and police said that they were
busy with Assembly sessions.
The court directed the
Hyderabad Police Commissioner to assist the GHMC to remove the
encroachments and stop the illegal slaughterhouses.
