GHMC told to respond on illegal slaughter houses
A Division Bench of the A.P. High Court comprising Chief
Justice Kalyan Jyoti Sengupta and Justice N. V. Ramana on Monday asked
the authorities concerned of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation
(GHMC) to respond to complaints of illegal slaughtering of animals on
the roads and encroachments on these roads at Ziaguda in Hyderabad.
Writ petition
The
Bench was dealing with a writ petition filed by D. Santosh Kumar and
Rajender Kumar, residents of Ziaguda, who complained that goats, and
other animals were being slaughtered on the roads and the waste was
being dumped into the Musi river by the slaughter house owners.
The petitioners said the roads were being encroached by them and the GHMC officials had not responded on their complaints.
The Bench felt actions like this had to be dealt with and adjourned the case for the response of the GHMC.
