TIRUNELVELI: The Corporation, which has established the modern slaughterhouse at Melapalayam on an outlay of Rs. 50 lakh, has decided to administer the butchery through a qualified non-governmental organisation and hence, the local body has formulated stringent stipulations for managing it. As butchering of goats is going on wherever the butchers want, the corporation has constructed the modern slaughterhouse on the Melapalayam Market Road. After sensing that managing this facility directly by the corporation itself would be a cumbersome affair, it was recently decided to govern it through a NGO and certain terms and conditions have been formulated. According to the conditions, the NGO selected for administrating the slaughterhouse can butcher only goats from 5 a.m. to 12 Noon and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and collect only Rs. 20 per animal. The receipts should be printed in advance and appropriate seal obtained from the local body. Fitness certificate mandatory Getting
