Shut down 'illegal' meat shops or face action: Gurgaon civic body

The Gurgaon municipal corporation today served notices for the closure of meat shops within two days, which are allegedly being run "illegally" within its municipal limits.

The notices have been served to people engaged in the alleged "illegal" sale of meat in Narsinghpur, Mohammadpur Jharsa and Khandsa villages, along with Sector-46 and Sector-39 and other places of Gurgaon, a spokesperson said in a release.

In compliance of the Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar's directions, all such people have been asked to shut down their shops or vends within two days, otherwise the corporation would take action against them, the spokesperson said.

Khattar had, in a meeting on Saturday, ordered that no "illegal" meat shop would be allowed to run within the city's municipal limits and directed the officers to close such shops, he added.
