The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has directed the City Corporation to take speedy steps on the basis of a High Court order against a slaughterhouse functioning in a residential area to ensure a peaceful life.

The direction by commission acting chairperson and judicial member K. Byjunath comes on a complaint against G.S. Poultry Farm functioning in Anamukham ward in Chennilode, Kumarapuram.
