Illegal Meat Sales Persist in Guwahati Despite GMC Ban

Four years after GMC banned open slaughter and roadside meat sales, Guwahati still faces unhygienic and illegal practices in areas like Hatigaon and Beltola. Residents report blood-soaked drains, exposed raw meat, and animal cruelty. Despite occasional penalties and shop closures, enforcement remains weak. GMC cites lack of vending zones and poor public cooperation as challenges. Locals criticize the municipality for failing to ensure basic hygiene and law enforcement.
