Raichur Residents Oppose Hi-Tech Slaughterhouse Near Homes
In Raichur, people are upset because the government is building a big, modern slaughterhouse near their homes.
They say it's not a good place because there are schools, hostels, and religious centres nearby.
They worry about bad smells and waste.
The government says the new slaughterhouse is better and will create jobs.
They also say it will help the environment and provide good meat.
But the people still want it moved to a different place.
Residents oppose the construction of a hi-tech slaughterhouse near residential areas in Raichur.
The slaughterhouse is being built on 5 acres of government land surrounded by schools, hostels, and religious centres.
Locals fear the slaughterhouse will affect public health, hygiene, and the environment.
The district administration defends the project, stating it will use advanced technology and create jobs.
The existing slaughterhouse near Mavinakere is reportedly functioning under poor sanitary conditions.
