aligarh while the residents have been battling the stench of rotting flesh for a long time the nagar nigam at maqdoom nagar has finally come up with a plan to solve the problem of disposal of slaughtered animal waste the abattoirs in maqdoom nagar also pose a threat to the environment as the slaughtered animal waste gets accumulated in the nearby water body the nagar nigam has decided to build the boundary wall find a place to put rending plant and install a biodigester to deal with the stink this plan seems to have come after an rti activist pointed out that the absence of any efficient treatment plant or biodigester at the nagar nigam abattoir municipal commissioner shailender kumar singh said we have tied up with a private company to clean the canal and a water area there chemicals will be used to clean the area that is piling up the waste it is the need of the hour because the bio chemical waste develops a kind of bacteria that gives out stink and pollutes the air the poisonous bacteria can cause allergies and infections to people who come in contact with such an environment said anil kumar at the jal nigam singh added either one takes the slaughter houses out of the city or the people out of the city we tried to find a land where slaughter houses could be shifted but the locals protested because they feared the value of their land would decrease and residential opportunities would end so now we have to look for a place it was earlier reported that some people were carrying out unchecked slaughtering of animals in the area the nagar nigam had previously proposed a 3 crore plan for the modernization of slaughter houses which never got approved a source from nagar nigam said government is not too keen to pass this proposal because modernization might give rise to more abattoirs and currently there are 7 legal ones already functioning the ministers think this will give rise to unchecked slaughtering hence careless dumping of waste there is no guarantee of illegal slaughtering ending if the proposal is passed only 300 animals are permitted to be slaughtered but 1000 are being slaughtered by each abattoir we will have to deploy someone who ensures daily raids and does not take bribes to allow such slaughtering the source added
