The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) is considering the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s (BBMP) proposal to establish state-of-the-art abattoirs in the city. This comes close on the heels of the KSPCB issuing closure notices to the two old abattoirs, one on Tannery Road and the other on Usman Road near K.R. Market.
Confirming the development, a senior KSPCB official told The Hindu that the board had issued closure notices nearly a month ago after noticing that animal waste was being let into the stormwater drains, instead of being sent to effluent treatment plants (ETPs).
