Mira-Bhayandar Civic Body Bans Goat Rearing and Sacrificial Slaughter in Housing Societies
The Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation in Maharashtra, led by the BJP, has passed a resolution banning goat rearing and sacrificial slaughter in housing societies, residential complexes, shops, and public roads to address disputes during religious events. The policy also restricts feeding stray animals to designated zones and mandates meat sellers obtain a no-objection certificate, with fines and penalties for violations. The Congress opposed the ban, seeking exemptions for consenting societies, but the proposal was rejected.
