Ban meat export from Gazipur slaughter house - Naresh Kadyan

Greetings,

Animals are being abused for personnel gain and profit, Stop export from Gazipur slaughter house and cancel the lease to the following company at once.
Indian Express reporting:
The much-awaited Ghazipur abattoir has finally become operational. After a delay of about three years, the MCD inaugurated it on December 10.

The abattoir has a capacity of slaughtering 1,500 and 3,000 animals through the jhatka and halal methods respectively on a daily basis. At present, however, only the jhatka section of the Idgah slaughterhouse has been moved to the new premises; the halal and the buffalo sections will be shifted in the coming month.

Facing resistance from butchers, the abattoir managed to slaughter only four goats on Day One. The number went up to 163 on Sunday.

The first of its kind in India, the slaughterhouse has been constructed using German technology that employs completely hygienic techniques for processing the meat. The entire system is mechanised, ensuring the proper disposal of animal excreta and waste body parts. The MCD also said during the trial period, 400 butchers have been trained for work at the slaughterhouse.
At the Idgah slaughterhouse, the slaughtering fee was Rs 5 per animal; at the Ghazipur slaughterhouse it would cost Rs 45.

MCD Commissioner K S Mehra said the corporation has been facing resistance from butchers working at the Idgah slaughterhouse who do not want to move to Ghazipur. “On Sunday, we received complaints regarding illegal slaughtering taking place at the Idgah slaughterhouse. We had filed a police complaint and also slapped a fine of Rs 15,000 on the offenders. At the Ghazipur abattoir, we will keep a check on the number of animals being slaughtered each day. The MCD will also make sure that the butchers maintain hygiene. The butchers, however, are resisting the move,” said Mehra.

The Supreme Court in 2005 had directed the MCD to move the Idgah slaughterhouse to Ghazipur. After the BJP came to power last year, chairman of the MCD Standing Committee Vijendra Gupta had announced that the abattoir will move to Ghazipur in January 2008. It, however, took the MCD almost a year to finally get the slaughterhouse shifted to the new premises last week. On December 10, the MCD was also supposed to file a status report to the Supreme Court.

The MCD Commissioner said the delay took place due to the contractor missing the deadline.

OIPA in India raised following questions before MCD:
1. Why Gazipur slaughter house leased out to the FRIGORIFICO ALLANA LIMITED, a member of ALLANA Group of companies, If MCD was not capable and competent to manage as its own then why slaughter house was constructed and why private company got favoured / benefited leasing out for a long period 10 years ?
2. Who allowed them to export meat after slaughtering in the premises of the Gazipur slaughter house, under which brand and which species meat are being exported to which countries? Please explain along with the quantity and value of the exported meat, profit earned by the company since beginning till date.
3. OIPA in India placed open notice before MCD to cancel the Gazipur slaughter house lease at once and ban meat export / provide better service conditions to the workers / families as well.
4. Municipal Corporation, Delhi should shut down export wing, restore festival holidays to all concerned and Why festival holidays cut down from 25 days to 3 days?, kindly refer to media reports, which clarified that holidays matter was taken up with hidden agenda, inquiry may kindly be ordered and tainted be punished.
5. Municipal Corporation, Delhi should introduce mechanism to minimize the stress, pain, injury and unnecessary sufferings to all animals brought for slaughtering. MCD should ensure strict compliance of the animal welfare laws and rules, likewise animal supplier be directed as well to be humane towards animals during their shifting towards Gazipur slaughter house. Matter has been taken by the founder of PFA Haryana - www.pfaharyana.in Naresh Kadyan, representative of OIPA in India - www.oipa.org vide No. GNCTD/E/2011/00936 dated August 26, 2011 with the Govt. of Delhi / PRSEC/E/2011/14172 dated 28-8-2011 with the President of India's Secretariat by Naresh Kadyan.
The Govt. of India introduce rules and regulation for slaughter houses but every slaughter houses are ignoring these rules, Why?, AWBI failed to implement these rules as well, no proper staff / vet to check animals health before slaughtering.
OIPA in India ready to arrange a workshop to updates knowledge of all officials of the management about animal related legislation's, constitution of a committee is hereby advised to monitor the animal abuse in the interest of natural justice.
