Chandigarh MC Proposes New Bylaws Requiring NOCs for Meat and Poultry Sales
The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation has drafted new bylaws to regulate meat, fish, and poultry shops, proposing mandatory annual no-objection certificates (NOCs) for all businesses selling these products. The draft, to be presented on August 20, aims to replace outdated 2002 rules and includes penalties such as fines up to ₹50,000, sealing, and blacklisting for violations. It also mandates slaughtering certain animals at a designated slaughterhouse. Public feedback will be invited for 15 days before finalization.
