Hrs after Yogi taking over, 2 slaughterhouses sealed

Two slaughterhouses were sealed by the authorities here on Sunday night, a development that comes within hours of BJP leader Yogi Adityanath taking over as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.

Almost an year ago the National Green Tribunal had ordered the closure of these two slaughterhouses, an official said. "We sealed one slaughterhouse each in Atala locality of the city and at Naini, on the outskirts, last night. The NGT had ordered closure of these in May, 2016", the district's Veterinary Officer Dheeraj

Goyal said.He said the step was taken "following reports that though these slaughterhouses had been shown as shut on paper, business was running there

as usual."
