Bhopal: A Congress delegation on Wednesday carried out a detailed on-site inspection of the slaughter house located at Jinsi, during which several serious irregularities allegedly came to light. The delegation observed that while the main entrance at the front was shown as sealed, a rear gate was found open, indicating that unethical and illegal activities were allegedly being carried out through the back entrance, misleading the administration.
During the inspection, the private vehicle of slaughter house operator Aslam Chamda, along with vehicles belonging to the municipal corporation, were found parked outside the premises. The delegation further claimed that upon learning about the inspection, attempts were being made to destroy crucial files, documents and other evidence, adding gravity to the matter.
Following the intervention of the Congress delegation, the entire slaughter house was sealed completely with immediate effect to prevent any further illegal activity and to ensure that evidence was not tampered with.
The Congress termed the episode a result of administrative negligence and possible collusion, and demanded a fair and high-level inquiry into the matter. Party leaders said accountability must be fixed and strict action taken against those found responsible.
Congress general secretary Amit Sharma, Madhya Pradesh Congress spokesperson Rahul Raj, along with several party leaders and workers, were present during the inspection. The party asserted that any compromise with public health, law and order, and transparency would not be tolerated, and vowed to continue its agitation on the issue.
