    Allahabad HC notices to Centre, UP govt on illegal meat shops, slaughterhouses

    [ad_1]

    Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has issued notices to the Centre and Uttar Pradesh government seeking their reply on alleged illegal operations of meat shops and slaughter houses in Ghaziabad.

    Notices have also been served to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), animal welfare board of India, commissioner of food safety, Uttar Pradesh, Ghaziabad municipal corporation, Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

    Hearing a PIL filed by Ghaziabad councillor Himanshu Mittal, a division bench comprising Chief Justice Pritinker Diwaker and Justice Saumitra Dayal Singh directed the above-mentioned respondents to file their respective replies by May 3.

    The PIL has raised state-wide non-compliance of the food safety and standards Act 2006, prevention of cruelty to animals Act, 1960, environment (protection) Act, 1986 and MOEFCC guidelines and various apex court orders.

    Appearing for the petitioner, his counsel Akash Vashishtha submitted before the court that in Ghaziabad, out of nearly 3,000 meat shops and slaughterhouses, only 17 have licences under section 31 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

    “Only 215 meat establishments are registered with the food safety department under the Act and only 62 improvement notices have been served upon them,” the plea stated.

    “None of the meat shops and slaughter houses in the district has mandatory consent to establish and operate under section 25 of the Water Act,”, alleged the petitioner in his PIL.

    The petitioner’s counsel further submitted that the perpetual cruelty to animals is being caused in violation of laws.

    In the Laxmi Narain Modi matter, the Supreme Court constituted a committee on slaughter houses for each state.

    “Such committees are completely defunct across the state. The society for prevention of cruelty to animals, to be constituted in each district, is either non-existent or defunct in most of the districts,” added counsel for the petitioner.

  • APTECH Row: ‘Days gone when jobs were selling in shops’: LG

    [ad_1]

    ‘People used to get jobs based on their approach, but that no longer is the case’

    Suhail Khan

    Srinagar, Mar 13 (GNS): Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha while reacting to the agitation by JKSSRB aspirants against APTECH Company said the protests going around regarding the matter are just an attempt to stall the recruitment process, but those behind the plot are bound to fail.

    The LG Sinha, as per GNS, said that in the past three years, around thirty thousand youth from Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory have been provided jobs and the government is committed to providing jobs to twelve thousand youth in the 2023 year.

    The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, said what people can expect from those who give space to terrorism, who provide jobs to militant families and who have appointed lakhs of people for whom common masses in the UT are suffering.

    He said gone are the days when jobs were sold in shops and only approach-based people were given positions. “Those days are over now, people now need to come forward if they know of anyone involved in any wrongdoing, and strict action will be taken”, he said adding nobody will be spared who is involved in any wrongdoing.

    He said those people who spoil the dreams of young aspirants in broad daylight and have entirely damaged the whole ecosystem are those who were appointed but had never been in offices, and it is obvious those are hurting and it should be.

    “Don’t come to their talks, you don’t need to hold candle-lights”, LG said.

    “All those complaints received earlier have been strictly dealt with, and the matters later handed over to India’s best investigation agency, the CBI”, he said.

    Pertinently, scores of Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) job aspirants are relentlessly protesting against the purported grant of contract to APTECH Ltd. for conduct of various exams. (GNS)

  • Telangana man writes to Collector over lack of Kingfisher beer in shops

    Telangana man writes to Collector over lack of Kingfisher beer in shops

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: With great sense of purpose, a Jagtial resident wrote to his district collector highlighting the lack of Kingfisher in the district. Not quite the bird, but the brand of beer.

    Beeram Rajesh wrote a letter to the Jagtial District Collector on Monday highlighting the lack of ‘KF’ beers in wine shops.

    “In the process of obtaining permissions they state that all kinds of liquor will be made available through their wine shop. However, after receiving the permissions, wine shops owners are selling only low quality beers,” said Rajesh in the letter.

    He explained his concern for other alcoholic’s health, who are seemingly being forced to drink low quality alcohol as the wine shops don’t have ‘KF’ beer available and the income that the state government is losing out.

    He also reasoned that many accidents take place when people, desperate to have the alcohol of their choice, are forced to travel to far away places to buy it.

    He said the alcoholics who have no other option but to drink the low quality beer being offered in the wine shops face a risk of ‘Uric Acid’.

    “Since the wine shops only have low quality alcohol available, people who consume alcohol are having to travel 20 to 30 kilometers to get alcohol. In this process, many accidents are taking place,” said Rajesh in the letter.

    He alleged that belt shops have the KF brand beer available but it is priced very high at 200 to 300 rupees. He explained that the only way to get the alcohol of his choice is to buy the overly priced beer from the belt shops or travel to places far away.

    He also expressed his concerns over the genuineness of the KF beers being sold at the belt shops.

    “How are the belt shops getting ahold of KF beers that elude the wine shops and bars? Are they selling real beer or is it artificially manufactured?”

    “When it is the government that gives permission to the wine shops, what rights do the wine shop owners have to sell only the alcohol of their choice?” he said.

    He questioned the alleged silence of government officials who are standing by and watching the government’s income take a hit.

    “When the officials who are stringent about the fact that only people with Government’s permissions should sell alcohol, why are they mum when the state government’s income is taking a hit?” asked an evidently upset Rajesh.

    He said that the officials in the collector’s office responded positively to his complaint.

  • Hyderabad: Shops, hotels dealing with meat on GHMC radar

    Hyderabad: Shops, hotels dealing with meat on GHMC radar

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: The GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) will take stringent action against shops, hotels, restaurants, function halls and other establishments disposing of waste and leftovers including non-veg on streets and public places.

    The move was announced after the recent horrific dog attack where a five-year-old Pradeep was moulded to death by a bunch of stray dogs.

    Dog attacks are often observed in corners that turn into gathering yards for these dogs where waste from meat shops and restaurants is often observed being discarded.

    Telangana animal husbandry minister, Talasani Srinivas Yadav held a high-level meeting with home minister Mahmood Ali, city Mayor Gadwal Vijayalaxmi, and MAUD special chief secretary Arvind Kumar on Thursday, to discuss measures to avoid animal attack incidents.

    Admitting that there is a serious stray dog menace prevailing in the city, the state government has decided to take measures to control dog-biting cases by forming eight teams.

    The teams will conduct special drives to keep a tab on meat and chicken shops that dump waste on the roads and initiate strict action against erring shop owners.

    GHMC to tackle stray dog menace

    Meanwhile, the GHMC appointed zone-wise supervisors for the effective implementation of the Animal Birth Control – Anti Rabies (ABC-AR) programme within its jurisdictions.

    The officials who will monitor the special ABC-AR drive within their zones for the next two months are B Sandhya (Kukatpally), G Uma Prakash (Secunderabad), J Suvartha (L B Nagar), L P Mallaiah (Serilingampally), A Shailaja (Charminar) and B Sreenivasu (Khairatabad zone).

    Moreover, sanitation staff including the outsourcing staff would be trained to deal with street dogs and follow the appropriate protocol.

    The instructions issued include setting up billboards/hoardings at suitable locations highlighting the appropriate behaviour towards and around street dogs.

    The civic body will also distribute the pamphlets in both government and private schools detailing the ‘Do’s’ and ‘Don’ts’ of behaviour around street dogs.

    To alleviate the aggression of street dogs during the summer, an adequate number of water bowls will be arranged in suitable locations, preferably away from places of greater public movement.

    Officials were directed to take up a programme in the next month in all schools to educate children about the appropriate behaviour protocols while dealing with stray dogs.
