Mangaluru, Oct 24: City mayor Diwakar Pandeshwar, said that the city corporation here has been receiving numerous complaints about sale of meat brought from other states and districts in the meat shops in the city. He has asked the 20 meat vendors functioning within the city corporation limits not to bring meat from other states and districts for sale.

"If it is found that these shops are bringing meat without authorisation as above, the licences of the shops will be cancelled. All the meat vendors functioning in the city have to acquire meat from the authorised slaughterhouse under the city corporation and sell the same at their shops. He also said that the owners of meat shops have to obtain and maintain receipts with details when buying meat from the slaughterhouse as above.

He explained that when an animal is being taken to the slaughterhouse, it should be always carried in the special permission vehicles (SPV) registered with the transport department and asked the slaughterhouse owners to take measures to implement the same.
