Members of the Taxpayers’ Association on August 1 (Tuesday) expressed their objection to the proposal of establishing a modern slaughterhouse on the site of Disney Land in Vijayawada.
The proposal came up during the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation’s council meeting held on July 31 (Monday).
The members opined that the Disney Land site is surrounded by many habitations. People of Vambay colony and Ajit Singh Nagar, who live close by, had already suffered for a long time due to a dumping yard close to their colonies. These people, who fell sick and had to endure the stench day in and day out, fought for a long time to get their voices heard. Now, the VMC Is planning to have a slaughterhouse here which will compound their misery, they said.
