ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) has directed the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Administration to set up a new slaughterhouse in the federal capital. A single-member bench headed by Justice Amir Farooq issued the orders after taking up a petition regarding the sale of sub-standard meat in the federal capital. Petitioner Advocate Yasir Mahmood told the court that the sale of sub-standard meat is on the rise in capital. He said that the butchers inject water into the meat through injections and officials concerned are not taking any action against them in this regard. Sale of sub-standard meat is a cause of spreading diseases among the people in the city while Haram meat is also being sold due to shortage of slaughter houses in the federal capital, he added. The petitioner requested the court to take action against those who are involved in the sale of sub-standard meat and order to establish new slaughter house. Upon the request, the court ordered and directed to set up a new slaughterhouse in the federal capital.
