Two Illegal Slaughterhouses Shut in UP, Many More to Follow

Closing down of slaughterhouses in the state was one of the poll promises of the BJP before the 2017 elections.

Officials from the Allahabad Nagar Nigam on Monday shut two slaughterhouses a day after Yogi Adityanath took oath as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.

Sources said on Wednesday that the CM has directed police officials to prepare an action plan that will enable the shutting down of all slaughterhouses and to put a complete ban on cow smuggling.
