Mayor Ubraj Narine yesterday called for an emergency meeting to discuss the planned relocation of the Municipal Abattoir.
He made the call at a statutory meeting of the city council.
The call came in the wake of a Stabroek News report on Wednesday about the current state of the abattoir on Water Street. Two years and five months after a crane belonging to John Fernandes Limited crashed into city’s abattoir, no slaughtering is occurring there. The abattoir is now being used for inspection and stamping of slaughtered meat only.
