NOWSHERA VIRKAN - The citizens have expressed concern over the sale of substandard meat in the city, saying that there was no one to check the sale of unhygienic meat.
Poor quality meat was being supplied to Nowshera from different adjoining areas, which is openly sold in Sabzi Mandi. Moreover the butchers sell substandard meat in other parts of the city at higher prices.
A resident of main city, Dr Abdul Basit, said that the Tehsil administration had failed to ensure provision of quality meat, adding that there were many meat shops in the city but no one checked quality of the meat. "The butchers are selling unhygienic meat at higher prices which is not only unfit for consumption but also fleecing people just because of the absence of proper slaughter house and absence of inspections," he said. –Reporter
