UP MLA Proposes AI and CCTV for Slaughterhouse Regulation
Imagine someone wants to make sure animals are treated well in places where they are prepared for food.
A politician in Uttar Pradesh, India, suggests using special cameras and computers, like AI, to watch what happens.
They want to make sure the animals are healthy, that no young or pregnant animals are harmed, and that everything is clean.
They want cameras in key areas, such as where animals are held, stunned, and bled.
The AI will look for problems, like animals that are not supposed to be there.
They also want a website where people can report any problems they see and make sure everything follows the rules and creates a standard to be applied.
The main goal is to improve animal welfare, keep food safe for people, and make Uttar Pradesh have a good reputation for its meat industry.
BJP MLA Rajeshwar Singh wants to regulate slaughterhouses in Uttar Pradesh.
He suggests using AI and CCTV for monitoring.
He notes that only half of the 260 licensed slaughterhouses currently have CCTV.
Singh proposed the 'UP Humane Slaughter Protocol 2025'.
He seeks a portal for reporting complaints and an inter-departmental task force.
