Bhopal Municipal Corporation Closes Slaughterhouse, Suspends Officials After Meat Seizure

Following the discovery of 26 tons of suspected cow meat at Bhopal's municipal slaughterhouse, the Bhopal Municipal Corporation permanently closed the facility and suspended nine officials, including veterinary officer Dr. Beni Prasad Gaur. The council meeting saw intense political debate, with Congress councillors demanding accountability from the Mayor and Mayor-in-Council, leading to a walkout. The contractor was blacklisted, and further inquiries are underway amid public protests and calls for arrests.
