Lucknow, Mar 30 (IBNS) : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday invited representatives of slaughterhouses for talks to end the deadlock arising out of an indefinite strike, reports said.

 The slaughter house owners have been on s trike after the Government moved to shut down illegal slaughterhouses and alleged police excesses led to closure of even a number of legal outlets. 


With the crackdown and the resultant strike a situation arose threatening the livelihood of many people and the Government came under sharp criticism.

As promised in the BJP’s manifesto, Yogi Adityanath  ordered a complete ban on illegal slaughterhouses. However, as the police crackdown began, reports of high-handedness started pouring in affecting even the licensed meat outlets.
