Yamunanagar, December 16

Residents of Kanjnu village and members of various organisations, including the Bharatiya Kisan Union, today held a protest in Radaur town of Yamunanagar district to oppose a proposed frozen chicken products project (slaughterhouse) to be set up by a private company in the village.

The protesters said that the project would have an adverse impact on the ecology and environment of the area, besides hurting religious sentiments of the residents. They demanded that the authorities concerned should cancel the license of the project.

“The protest will continue against this slaughterhouse in a peaceful manner until the licence of this project is cancelled,” said Shiv Kumar Sandhala, district president, Anaj Mandi Arhtiyas Association.

SDM Dr Indrajeet Singh and DSP Rajat Gulia told the protesters that a committee had been constituted to look into this issue.
