In Pimpri-Chinchwad,the area beneath the flyover in Pimpri serves as a slaughterhouse for large animals in the past 20 years. This place,which was started as a temporary arrangement in 1988 till a proper slaughterhouse comes into existence,still continues to be the slaughterhouse.
The place is mired in filth and animals are slaughtered in unhygienic conditions posing a serious health risk to the public.
According to Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation’s detailed project report (DPR) on solid waste management,as per BPMC Act,1949,section 63 (12),it is mandatory for every corporation to make provision of land or to make the arrangement for slaughterhouse.
But since 1988,the slaughtering of large animals is done beneath the Pimpri flyover by Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC),which was declared a temporary arrangement till a modern slaughterhouse comes into existence.
