DHARAMSHALA:

The committee noted that this practice attracts a large number of birds; significantly increasing the risk of bird-hit cases. The panel, chaired by deputy commissioner (DC) Hemraj Bairwa, has instructed that individuals associated with meat shops, slaughterhouses, and similar establishments within a 10-km radius of Kangra Airport will be called for a meeting within 15 days.

During the meeting, they will be made aware of the gravity of the issue. If the practice is not discontinued even after this, appropriate action will be taken against those responsible.
