Kondaiah, joint Commissioner (Meat & Meet Products), Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, New Delhi, has filed affidavit, the details of the Scheme under the Ministry of Agriculture, Department of Animal Husbandry, in regard to grants for slaughter houses has been explained. Thereafter in paragraph 6 it is stated as under: "I state that the Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India has received a proposal from the Government of Uttar Pradesh, Urban Development Department (Anubhag-7), Vikas Bhavan, Lucknow, on 19.7.95 for establishment of (a) New Modern Slaughter House at a cost of Rs. 380 lakhs (including cost of land Rs. 60.00 lakhs) and (b) a carcass utilisation centre at a cost of Rs. 3.45 lakhs i.e. Rs. 160 lakhs for slaughter houses on 50: 50 basis (excluding cost of land) and Rs.- 185 lakhs for carcass utilisation centre (rendering plant) on 100% basis". Thereafter in paragraph 7 it is stated that 9 points for clarifications have been referred to the Secretary to Government of U.P. Urban Development Department, Lucknow and as soon as the information is received by the Ministry, the matter shall be processed further. It is clear from the affidavit that in the Eighth Five Year Plan allocation of Rs. 2,946.15 lakhs is available for the construction of slaughter houses/carcass. It is further stated that several projects have been stalled because of the public resistance at various places. Be that as it may, the construction of slaughter house at Agra is most important for environmental protection, pollution control and tourism purposes. The Taj Mahal at Agra attracts large number of tourists every year. The city has to be kept clean and pollution free. We are of the view that the construction of slaughter house at Agra has to be taken up separately and with utmost urgency. Top priority should be given to this project. We, therefore, suggest that the construction of slaughter house at Agra be de-linked from the Scheme and total cost of the construction of this project should be met from the Eighth Five Year Plan allocation of Rs. 2,946.15 lakhs.
