Srinagar: The Muttahida Majlis‑e‑Ulema (MMU), the largest conglomerate of religious organisations in Jammu & Kashmir headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, has expressed serious concern over recent reports of rotten, unhygienic, and allegedly non‑halal meat being supplied to markets , street vendors , restaurants, and hotels in the Valley. The MMU said such incidents not only greatly endanger public health but also violate the religious obligation of ensuring halal compliance in a Muslim‑majority region.
The MMU reminded that it already has a Halal Certification Committee which certifies meat and related products in accordance with Islamic guidelines, and urged all traders, hotels, and restaurants to procure only from certified and verified sources.
The MMU called upon the authorities to take strict action against those involved, conduct transparent investigations, and put in place regular monitoring of slaughterhouses, cold storage facilities, and supply chains to ensure both hygiene and halal standards. It also appealed to the public to remain cautious and prefer trusted, certified sources until confidence is restored.
