Goat market set up in Nehru Hill Park

There is anger among the citizens of all the communities of the area. According to the allegations, from around May 8, some anti-social elements occupied Nehru Hill Park for the first time and opened a goat market for Eid by tying goats there.
Complaint was also made in the police station

Allegation of putting pressure on MLA Ale Mohammad
It is alleged that the MCD, possibly under the pressure of anti-social elements and local MLA Aale Mohammad, took Rs 1 lakh 7 thousand from Nehru Hill Park from May 21 to 27. The name of a person named Akhlaq has been allotted to a fake RWA. After which there is huge resentment among the citizens of Mata Sundari Road, Gandhi Market and Minto Road. It is being told that there is no mention of setting up a goat market anywhere in the receipt, it is clearly a case of legalizing the illegal by threatening the Municipal Corporation officials and getting the receipt cut.
Amit Gupta said that in the last 70 years, there was never a goat market in this Nehru Hill Park in this area with mixed population and today when the Delhi government is clearly saying that goats will not be allowed to be slaughtered in any public place, then the allocation of the park by the Municipal Corporation is wrong. He said that we have demanded the Chief Minister to cancel it and he has assured us of taking appropriate action.
