Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: CSMC Takes Strict Action Against Illegal Meat Shops

The Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation (CSMC) has taken significant action against butchers involved in the illegal sale of meat, recovering fines totaling Rs14,000 from seven violators. The drive was conducted on Wednesday under the directives of Municipal Commissioner G. Sreekanth and Deputy Municipal Commissioner Santosh Wahule.

A CSMC squad inspected around 25 meat shops in Zone No. 4. Of these, seven shops were found operating without the corporation’s no-objection certificates, meat sale permits, or other required documents. Consequently, fines amounting to Rs14,000 were collected, and about 1,245 kg of meat and related items were seized.

Additionally, as directed by Wahule, an illegal establishment named Razia Beef Shop near Town Hall Bridge was demolished. The operation was carried out by Assistant Commissioner Savita Sonawane, Dr. Shahed Shaikh, Sanjay Suradkar, Archana Rajput, PSI Adhav, Ravindra Desai, Sagar Shresht, and others.

This crackdown is part of a broader effort to maintain public health and safety standards.
