1,600 kg of rotten meat seized at Budgam railway station in joint operation

SRINAGAR, NOV 14 – : Around 1,600 kg of rotten meat was seized during a late-night joint operation at Budgam Railway Station in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said on Saturday.

The operation was conducted jointly by the District Administration Budgam, railway authorities, Municipal Committee Budgam and the Animal Husbandry Department as part of efforts to prevent the circulation of unsafe food products and protect public health.

Officials said the recovery of such a large quantity of rotten meat had raised concerns over the transportation of unhygienic meat and the possibility of it entering the local food supply chain, potentially exposing consumers to health risks.

The seizure has also brought into focus the need for stricter monitoring of meat transportation and enforcement of food safety regulations to prevent the sale and distribution of unsafe food products. (KNS)
