MUMBAI: With Eid-ul-Azha or Bakrid, the three-day festival of animal sacrifice (June 29-July 1) a week away, the BMC-run Deonar Abattoir is being readied to house and trade in thousands of goats, sheep and cattle (buffalo).
Led by NCP leader Saleem Sarang, a delegation of Maharashtra Muslim Coordination Committee visited the sprawling abattoir or slaughterhouse spread over 64 acres at Deonar on Monday. Accompanied by the abattoir’s Assistant General Manager (AGM) Dr Sachin Kulkarni, the delegation reviewed the preparations being made for the arrival of around 2 lakh goats and sheep and 15000 cattle to the abattoir in the next few days.
