Construction of slaughterhouse


JMC amends its tender, creates confusion for contractors

BY TAHIR MUSHTAQ

GNS JAMMU,July 24: While establishment of modern slaughterhouse at Jagti has been facing constant delay, Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) has amended its tender notice which could further create confusion among the contractors bidding for the project.
JMC has issued tender on April 4, but today corporation has amended the tender notice and has  incorporated new terms and conditions for the construction of slaughterhouse. 
The total project cost is Rs 20 crore, off which for the first phase, Rs 1.53 crore have been released by Central Government while another Rs 1.50 crore have been released by state government, but so far the groundwork has not been started mainly because, corporation delayed the issuance of  tenders.
At present the slaughter houses run from residential localities of Dogra hall and Gujjar Nagar. The two slaughterhouses, constructed in 1947 in these two residential colonies, are source of inconvenience for residents of these colonies.
Even the residents are eagerly waiting for the shifting of the slaughterhouse and said that people are facing a big health threat. Ravi Kumar, a resident of Dogra Hall, said, “During summer, foul smell coming out from the slaughterhouse spreads everywhere, thus making the life miserable for us. It should be shifted immediately”.
Expressing annoyance against the Municipal Corporation, an official said that such changes creates confusion among the companies coming forward to construct it.
“Just after one month the corporation woke from sleep and decided to change some of the terms and conditions. Why they waited for such a long period, when many of the companies had submitted their bids”, official said.
The shifting of primitive slaughterhouses from the residential areas to the outskirts of the city has faced years of delays. The project was first taken up about 30 years back, but due to lack of funds it saw a long delay.
Joint Commissioner JMC Babu Ram said that corporation has made some amendments but it will not affect the project.
“There are some minor changes in our tender. Many companies are coming forward after the issuance of tender and we hope to start work soon", Ram said.

GNS RAJOURI : The way opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP) led by former JK Chief Minister and erstwhile union home minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayed has been emerging as a force in the border region of Poonch , Rajouri, is really a worrying situation for Congress and National Conference . It would be much better to say that the situation if more threatening for NC as compared to Congress as the region has always been strong belt of the former for decades . The latest example is the entry of Chowdhary Qamer Hussain of Rajouri in the party fold who was earlier associated with Congress and had contested on Congress ticket from Rajouri in 2002 assembly elections , but had finished second at  that time . Qamar is not alone in the region who joined PDP in the past some months, National Conference has already received a big loss by loosing its influential cadres in Poonch district . The example is the entry of Shah Mohammad Tantray and Shehzaad Ahmed Khan of Poonch in to PDP  No...

When the holy Quran was placed before Mohammed Maqbool Butt on the morning of February 11,

When the holy Quran was placed before Mohammed Maqbool Butt on the morning of February 11, 1984, he knew that death awaited him in the phansi kothi a few yards away. A high voltage bulb burning outside the grated doors of his solitary cell in the death row was indicative of the outside darkness. If he had had any hopes of living awhile yet, they were dashed by the presence of the” prison doctors. Jail superintendent, A.B. Shukla/had paid Butt a visit in the middle of the previous night. Shukla chatted with him for a long time but cautiously avoided any talk about the execution. “I will see you on Monday”, Butt’s counsel on record, the sallow-complexioned R.C. Pathak, had told him during a brief interview they were allowed on the evening of February 10. In answer, the condemned Kashmir Liberation Front leader, who was awarded the death sentence of the murder of a CID officer in 1966, had meaningfully remarked: “Do you think they will permit us a second meeting?” He was right! Butt was n...
