Mayor Inspects Nandai Meat Market
Earlier in the morning, Mayor Madhusudan Yadav visited Nandai ward along with Municipal Corporation Commissioner G.R. Markam and other officials to review sanitation arrangements ahead of the Diwali festival.
During the visit, residents raised concerns that meat waste from the local meat market was being carried by birds, including kites and vultures, and animals to areas near residential houses, creating unhygienic conditions.
Taking note of the complaint, the Mayor inspected the meat market and directed officials to improve its management and ensure proper cleanliness. He also instructed them to make arrangements for the safe disposal of meat waste.
Incinerator System Proposed for Meat Waste Disposal
The Mayor directed officials to prioritise the installation of an incinerator system at the meat market so that meat waste could be disposed of at the site itself.
Deepak Khande, the officer in charge of the Swachh Bharat Mission and an executive engineer, said the tender process for installing the incinerator system was in its final stage.
According to Khande, the proposed system would have the capacity to burn approximately 100 kilograms of meat waste per hour.
The Mayor stressed that the installation should be prioritised to address residents’ complaints about waste and unhygienic conditions. He also instructed officials to improve other essential facilities at the meat market and maintain proper sanitation.
Inspection Drive to Continue
The Municipal Corporation, food safety authorities and police are continuing joint inspections of hotels, shops and roadside carts involved in meat and food sales. The drive focuses on verifying licences and food safety permissions, checking the use of LPG cylinders, examining food samples and ensuring cleanliness.
The inspections are intended to enforce applicable regulations and address sanitation concerns in the Nandai area, particularly ahead of the Diwali festival.
