Despite assurances, rotten meat incidents continue; Mirwaiz seeks answers
SRINAGAR — Kashmir’s chief cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Sunday expressed concern over the seizure of rotten meat from railway cargo arriving from Delhi, questioning how such incidents continue despite public outrage and assurances of strict action by the authorities last year.
In a post on X, Mirwaiz said the latest seizure had shocked people and raised serious concerns over food safety in the region.
He commended the police officers involved in the seizure for their prompt action but questioned why those behind the alleged practices had not been exposed and strictly punished.
“How does it continue unchecked?” he asked, referring to last year’s public outrage and assurances by the authorities of stringent safeguards and action against those involved.
Mirwaiz said the repeated incidents were causing anxiety among people and undermining their confidence in the safety of food being consumed.
He urged the government to make all facts public, fix accountability and take strict action against those responsible for the alleged malpractice.
He said such action was necessary to restore public trust in the food people consume. — (KIMS)
