The Gautam Budh Nagar district administration said on Monday that all meat shops in Noida and Greater Noida selling mutton, chicken, fish or buffalo meat are illegal. Officials of the food safety and drug administration (FSDA) department maintain that all meat shops in the district were running illegally as they did not have a licence. “We are studying the policies of other municipal bodies on giving permissions for meat shops so that we can draft one for Noida and Greater Noida. It means the government is not concerned about people consuming meat from these illegal shops,” said Tikam Singh of Sector 27. “Now, the government orders are to shut down all illegal meat shops, so we are doing that,” said Srivastava.
