MOHALI: Around 200 members of Hindu Sangharsh Committee, a right wing organization, took law into their own hands and damaged 40 meat shops running from an illegal complex in Phase VI on the eve of Navratras on Wednesday.

The organization members claimed they had warned the owners to close their shops as a school, a temple and a hospital were situated nearby and a foul smell emanated from the area.

The right wing activists stormed the market and started the demolition exercise. They also allegedly took away chickens and goats and later announced the owners to vacate the shops. When they did so, the protesters attacked the shops with wooden sticks and iron rods.

Committee chairman Ramesh Dutt said, "We had issued many notices to these shop owners to vacate the shops. Even the Supreme Court has issued guidelines that there should be no meat or tobacco shops around 100 metres from any educational institutes." "Hindus' religious season of Navratras has begun and residents cross this road with their faces covered. These shop vendors had made the whole environment unhygienic," he added.

The meat market was located right on the Chandigarh-Mohali border.

"These shop owners were fooling the administrations of both Mohali and Chandigarh by changing their locations by 3-4 feet. If they move 4 feet forward, they came under the jurisdiction of Mohali and if they move backwards, they fall in Chandigarh. They were never penalized," said a right wing member.

More than two dozen cops, including SSP Inder Mohan Bhatti, reached the spot. The police arrested six persons. A case under sections 147 (punishment for rioting), 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object), 283 (danger or obstruction in public way or line of navigation), 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint), 427 (mischief causing damage) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the IPC were registered on the complaint of Ajit Singh, a meat shop owner.

The SSP said, "People of all communities were running their business from these shops. We have arrested the members of the committee and a case had been lodged. We will further investigate the case as per the law."

On Tuesday, the deputy commissioner had ordered to remove the meat shops from the city as they were "polluting the environment".

Some one need to understand there is a fine line dividing the fight for your own rights when administration is not listening or not doing their work and when people forcefully try to impose their ideology on others.

As per SC ruling, there should not be any tobacoo selling, meat business, loud noise etc around religious place, schools and hospitals. Even then there are totally violations all over the country and administration does not pay any heed to it.

In some time, people patience will run out and they are bound to take action by themselves. More over, it is not about Hindu radicals. It is about local problem.

The way the article is published is trying to give it religious angle and there are hindu meat shop owners as well there.

GOOD JOB! When they refuse to listen to rules laid by Court and wont vacate even after so many notices, then it is time people did what they have to do, since Administration was lazy and being bribed to look aside.

Even though the shops were illegal, that is no reason to take the law into their own hands.

We are not living in a Police State, when people want something done according to law and the administration refuses to listen, then it is time to take law in our hands.

Remove illegal meat shops: Mohali DC
TNN | Sep 24, 2014, 01.49AM IST

MOHALI: Deputy commissioner Tejinder Pal Singh Sidhu on Tuesday ordered district officials to chalk out a plan to remove illegal meat shops and street vendors from the city.

Sidhu, who chaired a meeting of public works department officials and panchayat officers, said there must be a suitable place for ranchers as cows and buffalo keepers were disrupting the sewer system as well as causing accidents. He said meat markets in the city were polluting the environment. He ordered PWD officials to remove illegal shops immediately as they were causing major traffic jams in the city, especially on the highways. He also ordered the health department to carry out fogging daily in order to make Mohali disease-free.

7 booked for destroying meat shops in Mohali
HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times SAS Nagar, September 25, 2014

The police have charged seven people accused of destroying meat shops in Phase 6 in SAS Nagar on Wednesday. They have been identified as Ramesh Dutt, Chandar Sharma, Manoj Kumar, Sarabjit Singh, Joginder Mehta and Rahul.

The police have filed a case under section 427 (mischief causing damage), 341 (wrongful restraint), 283 (danger or obstruction in public way), 506 (criminal intimidation), 147 (rioting) and 149 (unlawful assembly) of the Indian Penal Code.

In his complaint lodged with the police, Ajit Singh, a resident of Palsora village in Chandigarh who owned some of these shops, alleged Dutt together with his accomplices destroyed the meat shops without any reason. He added talks on relocating the shops with representatives of the local market association were already in progress.

On Tuesday the deputy commissioner had asked the municipal corporation and the estate officer to finalise the plan on moving meat markets and dairies out of the city.

Additional GMADA chief administrator Navjot Kaur said, "As the area in which most of the meat shops are located adjoins Chandigarh, a boundary wall is being built to avoid confusion over jurisdiction. The MC commissioner has also been instructed to remove any unauthorized meat shop
in the city."

Meanwhile, MC commissioner Oma Shankar Gupta said the civic body had already decided to shift meat shops to the city's periphery. "However, it will take at least a year to make all the arrangements before relocating them," he said.

Now figure out the real news..... it was a business transaction that was given communal color by our very own Times of India.

DC should have razed it. Probably he was worried about the repurcussions since they belonged to Mulsims. If these shops belonged to Hindus they would have been razed long time ago. THis is the irony of living ina so called "Hindu state"

The culprits should be taken to task ASAP

haha they took away chickens, aur ghar pe chicken bana kar kha gaye.:haha:

Jobless retards.

If you put religious sentiments and secular school of thoughts aside.
I think they did the good job to force closing of illegal shops. It's not only wrong but an high risk of spreading various disease as storage/ handling conditions and meat they sell might not be good for human consumption. They must go!

I'm bit disappointed that administration woke only after such incident it could have been avoided.

I am assuming Indians are getting ready to eat grass for the next 5 years.

Yum. yummm, doesn't that look juicy.

At the end of the day, only the Indian people can be held responsible for this for democratically, under no force or coercion, elected a Hindu Extremist Narendra Modi as their next Prime Minister.

Narendra Modi is not responsible for the actions of few nutjobs. Such isloated incidents used to happen during UPA rule too.

Someone who thinks Hafizz sayed is next to god has no moral right to comment on Modi. I am sure Sayed will win hands down if he fights elections in Pakistan
