According to sources, the person who posted on social media expressed displeasure about the slaughter of animals.
On Sunday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh wrote a letter to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) seeking the removal of waste generated from qurbani (animal sacrifice) in Old City during Eid al-Adha.
“Disturbingly. In some cases, this waste has been found near places of worship, including temples, which is highly inappropriate and hurtful to religious sentiments, apart from being a major public health concern,” his letter to the GHMC commissioner RV Karnan read.
Raja Singh’s letter mentioned that an unbearable stench has been emanating from areas, including Falaknuma, Tigalakunta, Yakutpura Railway Station and Bahadurpura.
