[rti4empowerment] Kamela in Meerut- Nothing could be more horrible

 

Friends,

When I came to Meerut little did I know that I would encounter a problem I had not ever dreamed of.
Here in the city, at slaughter houses called Kamela (in local language) thousands of big animals including buffaloes are being butchered every day against the provisions of all laws, all norms, all directions and all instructions.
Sadly even the National Human Rights Commission seems to be completely helpless here.
We, members of IRDS and National RTI Forum, despite all our limitations, have decided to join our hands against this problem because from whatever information we have received, there could not be anything more serious and grotesque.
While we shall be providing more information subsequently, today I only provide a few links including one from You tube and some News items which present the problem in some depth.
Having said this,I appeal to each Human Right activist, each Animal rights activist, each Environmentalist and each Anti-corruption crusader to come forward and join hands against the completely illegal slaughter houses in Meerut, called "Kamela". There could not be anything more inhuman and illegal.
