Panic prevails in the Rs 50,000 crore meat industry of Uttar Pradesh after a statewide crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses and mechanised abattoirs initiated by chief minister Adityanath Yogi. India is one of the largest meat producers with UP accounting for 60% of the trade, but the state’s production has gone down by an estimated 30-40% and exports are likely to be badly hit. The state government has categorically stated that it is only acting against illegal units but the closure of some slaughterhouses with a valid licence in western UP has set alarm bells ringing.Representatives of All India Meat and Livestock Exporters Association (AIMLEA) have been camping in Lucknow to discuss the issue with the state government and AIMLEA secretary Fauzan Alavi spoke to Subhash Mishra about the industry’s concerns:

Why are licensed slaughterhouses worried when the UP government’s order is to close down only the illegal ones?

We are in the meat export business for the past 40 years, follow the best professional practices and follow all guidelines. A licensed exporter, for example, can’t even think of slaughtering a cow – not because it’s legally banned, but also because we share the same sentiments for the holy animal as our Hindu brethren. But, suddenly we are being made to feel that we are not doing business, but committing crime. Taking a signal from the top, lower-rung officers are knocking at our doors with a threat to close down business. Within four days of government formation, four licensed slaughterhouses – all 100% export units – have been closed in UP. Authorities checking these slaughterhouses ordered their closure on such flimsy reasons as one non-functional CCTV camera, slight variation in building plan and so on. The government officials come to check the slaughterhouses carrying locks and seals with them.
