The Centre has revealed that Jammu and Kashmir has 1,493 unregistered slaughterhouses, significantly higher than the 589 registered units. This discrepancy has raised concerns about the regulation of slaughterhouses in the region.
According to the Centre, the presence of a large number of unregistered slaughterhouses in Jammu and Kashmir is a matter of concern. The state has 589 registered slaughterhouses, but the number of unregistered ones is more than double. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the regulatory mechanisms in place. The Centre's revelation has sparked a debate about the need for stricter regulations and better enforcement to ensure that all slaughterhouses operate within the law.
