After enduring almost three years of inactivity, the city abattoir is set to be completely repaired by November month end.
This follows an incident that occurred on February 27, 2020, when a crane owned by John Fernandes Limited collapsed onto a portion of the abattoir’s roof, resulting in substantial damage.
The incident left the abattoir in a state of disrepair, with damage extending to the roof and walls of the building. Further, the roof of the slaughtering chambers was severely compromised. As a direct consequence, slaughtering activities have remained at a standstill ever since, impacting local businesses and meat supply chains.
