Mysore/Mysuru: Taking note of severe objections raised by MP Pratap Simha and a couple of Legislators representing the city, District Minister S.T. Somashekar directed the MCC Commissioner to stop the works on the modern abattoir (Animal slaughter house) at Kesare in city. Somashekar was presiding over the Quarterly KDP (Karnataka Development Programme) progress review meeting at ZP Hall here this morning.
Soon as the meeting began, MP Pratap Simha, MLAs G.T. Devegowda (GTD) and L. Nagendra raised the issue of Kesare slaughter house saying that the project posed a serious health hazard for residents in the vicinity. Noting that the people living close to the slaughter house face a health risk with stench generated by animal wastes, they appealed the District Minister to direct the authorities to stop the project.
