All for the slaughter house

By CT reporter
MANGALORE : It has been reliably gathered that funds are being raised by some forces in the city, to be offered as bribe money to some authorities with an intention of seeing to it that the slaughter house at Kudroli which is presently closed, is reopened.
Sources say some forces have collected funds ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 25,000 from mutton traders in the city and outskirts.
A person from Sagar, said to be a confidante of the chief minister, is presently camping at Mangalore and is collecting the funds from the traders.
It is not known whether the chief minister is aware of this, but it is sure that the funds are collected in the name of the chief minister saying some people have to be bribed in case the slaughter house was to be opened.
While some traders have already succumbed to pressure and handed over the amount, some others have decided to wait and watch.
It is now left to be seen to what extent this latest attempt to reopen the sole authorised slaughter house of the district, would prove fruitful.
