Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said slaughterhouses will not be allowed to come up in the temple town of Alandi in Pune district.

The town, which houses a temple of poet-saint Dnyaneshwar, is one of the places from which processions of 'warkaris' or pilgrims set out for the Vitthal temple in Pandharpur every year.

He has directed the removal of the reservation of land for the abattoir shown in the Development Plan of Alandi, Fadnavis said, speaking at the 'Warkari Bhakti Yoga' event.

"No slaughterhouses will be allowed in the town under any circumstances," the chief minister said.

He also assured that proper systems are in place to manage water discharge from dams in the Western Maharashtra districts of Kolhapur and Sangli to avoid floods.

"We have established clear protocols about for what purpose water should be released from dams, and when it should be stopped. There's good coordination with neighbouring states to ensure effective dam water management. Our engineers have been deployed in these states for better coordination during the monsoon," Fadnavis said.
