Hyderabad Slaughterhouses to Close on Independence Day

In preparation for Independence Day, all cattle slaughterhouses and meat shops in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) area will be closed. This decision aims to respect the national holiday.

Amrapali Kata, the GHMC Commissioner, has requested the Police Commissionerate to help ensure this closure is enforced. She asked for their assistance in guiding officers to support the corporation’s staff in making sure the order is followed.

The closure order is based on Section 533(b) of the GHMC Act, 1955. It clearly states that all cattle slaughterhouses and retail meat shops within the GHMC limits must remain closed on August 15 to honor Independence Day.
