Vishwanathan Pillai has never before felt so insecure about his job at an abattoir. His anxiety comes in the wake of on-going action that has been described by the Yogi Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh as a crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses.
Pillai, 40, who works as production head at Frigerio Conserva Allana Limited -- one of the country’s biggest, and legal, slaughterhouse-cum-meat processing units – said the factory has seen 50% reduction in buffalo stock due to the crackdown and fears the “worst is yet to come”.
“The traders have stopped transporting animals from local mandis for us because they fear they would be attacked on the way. Farmers do not want to sell their spent animals because the rates have come down. I do not know who will give us jobs if they close our plant too,” said Pillai.View more:-Bulk Sms Service provider
