Agartala, July 10: Tripura animal resource development department said no animals can be slaughtered in any municipal areas, including the Agartala Municipal Corporation on Eid-ul Zuha, as any animal killing outside the slaughterhouse would be considered illegal under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
Tarun Kanti Debnath, secretary of the department, said the advisory of the Animal Welfare Board mandated that all animal slaughtering would have to be done in slaughterhouses.
