GCC demands immediate corrective measures after surfacing of rotten meat scandal

STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, AUGUST 25 (STC): The Group of Concerned Citizens (GCC) in a statement has expressed serious concern over “procedural delays and silence” over the alleged rotten meat scam in Jammu and Kashmir.
“The government must disclose the outcome of raids and investigations into reports of sub-standard and rotten meat being sold in markets. People have a right to know the results of these inquiries to remove doubts created by the silence around the issue,” the group said in its statement.
The Group has appealed to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to ensure that the Police and Food & Drug Administration (FDA) act without any laxity.
Citing recent data presented in Parliament, the group said the food safety situation in J&K is “highly disturbing” and demanded urgent corrective measures.
