Srinagar, Sep 12,: Acting swiftly on reports of unhygienic and rotten meat being sold in different parts of the district, Srinagar Police has launched a determined crackdown in close coordination with the Civil Administration and the Department of Food Safety.

In the ongoing operation, six FIRs have already been registered at different police stations, including Lal Bazar, Bemina, Batamaloo, Safakadal, Ram Munshi Bagh and Zakura. The cases have been booked under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita as well as the Food Safety Act, signalling the seriousness with which the authorities are pursuing violators.
