Slaughter Houses in an Un-Romantic era : Uttar Pradesh

-
By: Altamash Khan
On December,2012 the apex court of India directed every Meat Slaughter houses constituting form all States and Union Territories to follow the Food Safety (Licensing and Registration of Food Business) and Regulations 2011. Under which all slaughter houses were required to be issued license and registration with FSSAI, since the State government didn’t take pain to bother about the guidelines is what bothering us now when the present state Government is taking heed of it. FSSAI asked all the food commissioners and secretaries of urban local bodies to prepare an action plan and present it at the meeting of the Central Advisory Committee. The FSSAI wanted meat and slaughter houses to run their shops in Compliance with legal provisions, Keep animal welfare measures in mind, Prohibit slaughter of animals other than those allowed by the food safety regulations.
Soon after the swearing of the new Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh , Mr. Yogi Adityanath took stern action against the illegal abattoirs running in the State and those not following the guidelines seen as a healthy process of a healthy Government but was again duplicated by the media as a step ahead against the Minority community. Now since again the abattoirs are opening up slowly in a rejuvenated model, where has the media flown ? …
According to the FSDA (Food Safety and Drug Administration) the state government is issuing fresh licences as well renewing the older ones under the fresh supervision of the administration as per the law. Basic laws such as “Transporting meat only in insulated freezer vans to health certificates for all workers, forbidding meat shops anywhere near religious places and vegetable markets to strict FSDA compliance to steel knives, the government has sent out an elaborate list of dos and don’ts for meat shop owners, to be enforced by all district administrations. They cannot slaughter any animal or poultry inside the shop, besides they have to use curtains/tinted glass and ensure that meat is not visible to public. All persons working in such shop will have to obtain health certificate from government doctors. ”
In my opinion none of us shall have any problems to as such compliance which would help us get hygienic meat for it is a highly perishable commodity equally prone to bacterial infection on consuming the contaminated one. While speaking to a local meat shop yesterday i found it really appreciating as he was getting a wire net door fitted on the gate of his shop to prevent flies as well visibility from the roadside.


Completely, what we could understand is that meat slaughtering was never as free as sought to be by the general public and the mass propagandist respected media partners who would never depict the current scenario in context to the law which is utmost important over to our freedom as it is the same law that guards as well help us perceive, what our constitution has guaranteed us.

The iconic age of Anger in India.

It scares me everyday, I walk by the roadside, crossing crowded lanes, disorderly crowds, cults of any religious views even of my own….. It is astounding for me or anybody with an healthy state of mind that an e-rickshaw driver is beaten to death by youths of a Central University, Delhi university for not allowing them to pee in public space. The kind of enraged community development happening across is deplorable in the human society. It is a serious concern for research, what led the people of India become so outrageous in the past three years. It earnestly need to be addressed, if the low rise in employment than expected or the advent of new media technology cum digital India is to be held responsible. In the incident that took place at Rampur, Uttar Pradesh shivered my heart, where two girls were molested open...

Intolerance : who made this thing?

| By: Altamash Khan | Intolerance has sought to be one of the biggest challenge in India post 2014 loksabha elections. After the uprising of the Hindutva ideologue in a span of last three years many new eggs have been hatched into the society in the name of religion and tradition albeit known for the massively rich cultural diversity. You would hardly remember to see words such as intolerance, muslims, hindutva, polarisation before 2014 era. what happened to the society all of a sudden that sees itself not polarised but re-polarised again and again. Where has the assimilating behaviour of we Indians lost on the dusty roads of politics. Be it Beef, religious practises or any conflicts which is incongruous to us thus, creating a gap between the blended varied community of our country. Where has the quality of forming a pleasing and the complete whole lost ? So many questions alike might hover to your mind if you maintain an non-yogic healthy state of mind. According to WHO, a...

Excessive digitisation without awareness.

By: Altamash Khan. Nothing other than rumours lead to lynchings and mass murders, It is all well known to each one of us. Two days back when in the old city of Aligarh, a buzz left on what's app and Facebook about the demolishing of the Mosque created a riot like situation in the city. Albeit the truth was just not even 0.5% of the same. It was just a matter of replacing the old Minaret of the Mosque with a new one, enlarging the diameter of the same. Soon after the District Administration stepped in and came to the conclusion by a peaceful assimilation of the duo-community. Similarly, the situation of Jharkhand where six people were lynched in a short span of two-three days in the name child lifting gangs, where the administration kept on ascertaining that no such gangs is active in the locality and if it persists it is the job of the Police to solve the case not the common people, But what happened is ahead all of us. Reminiscent and indistinguishable repeated ...
