BMC counsel Anil Sakhre also informed the court that BMC officers will cross-check details while taking away goats from the Deonar abattoir.

The goat is white, having light and dark brown shades on its head, neck and backside.

The gate pass while allowing buyers an easy exit from the premise will also serve as a proof of the animal being brought legitimately.

The police has deployed a special force near Deonar Bakri Mandi to keep tabs on activities taking place inside and outside of it.

It would ensure systematic culling of chicken, scientific disposal of animal waste.

At present, the abattoir uses a biomethanisation unit to deal with animal waste.
