BJP demands steps to curb cow slaughtering

Hyderabad, July 30 (INN): The Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded that the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and other authorities take measures to curb illegal slaughtering of cows in its limits.

A BJP delegation comprising BJP GHMC floor leader Bangari Prakash and Corporators – K Sahadev Yadav (Kurmaguda), Mettu Vaikuntam (Goshamahal) and Ale Jeethendra (Gowlipura) called on GHMC Commissioner Somesh Kumar on Wednesday and demanded immediate action in this regard. They informed that recently a Truck/Container carrying full load of livestock/cows accidentally overturned near Ramoji Film City. As a result, 20 cows died on the spot and other 25-animals were badly injured.

They alleged that this happened due to non availability of Check-post on all the corners of the GHMC. “Cows are the Idols of prayers for the Hindus and they are being illegally slaughtered in the GHMC limits hurting the sentiments of the Hindus. Slaughtering of Cows has been prohibited as per the provisions of AP Prohibition of Cow Slaughter & Animal Preservation Act, 1977. But the provisions are being breached every year, on the occasion of Bakrid Festival,” they alleged.

The BJP corporators demanded that the authorities of Police, RTA and GHMC operate check posts on all the corners of the suburbs of GHMC to ensure that not even a single cow intrude in the GHMC limits for the purpose of illegal slaughtering. “It is inevitable to identify the points where the intrusion of cows is being administered in bulk, and to establish Check Posts on those points with the vigilant eyes of Police, RTA and GHMC round the clock. Further, regular surprise checks should also be made on all the slaughter houses so as to minimize illegal slaughter in the GHMC limits,” they demanded.
