The Jharkhand government will build eight new modern slaughter-houses in the state, including one in the state capital, said an official on Tuesday.
The slaughter-houses, which will be set up in Ranchi, Dumka, Dhanbad, Jamshedpur, Deoghar, Medninagar, Hazaribagh and Chas municipal area, would be run under public-private partnership (PPP) mode.
The Principal Secretary of the Urban Development Department has directed officials to identify the land for building these slaughter-houses as early as possible.
