Facing a crisis of smuggling of substandard mutton and poultry into Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday held a high-level meeting in Srinagar and ordered the establishment of check posts and testing laboratories at Lakhanpur and Qazigund to screen mutton and chicken.
Kashmir is witnessing a growing unease over the seizure and recovery of mounds of unlabelled and decomposed poultry and mutton in several parts of the Valley. Over four tonnes of unsafe and decomposed meat and poultry have been either seized or recovered this month so far. These recoveries have spread panic among locals in Kashmir.
