The municipal corporation of Delhi (MCD) will introduce a modern livestock identification system to keep a record of the slaughtered animals and ensure that they were handed over to the right owners at Ghazipur. This will streamline the operations at its Ghazipur abattoir.
The 'jhatka' section of the state-of-the-art slaughter house in Ghazipur was launched in December last year, while 'halal' and 'buffalo' sections started operating in February and March this year, respectively.
A proposal to engage a private agency for the project to introduce Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID)-based livestock identification and tracking system was adopted by the MCD Standing Committee.
The system would also help in avoiding any mix-up between halal and jhatka goats, officials said. The civic body had received complaints of jhatka and halal meat being mixed, which could hurt the religious sentiments of some communities.link
