Mumbai: Minister Nitesh Rane has announced the launch of ‘Malhar Certification‘, a platform aimed at certifying ‘jhatka’ mutton shops exclusively operated by members of the Hindu community.
These outlets will be 100% operated by Hindus, said the minister on Monday and appealed to people to buy meat from such certified shops.
‘Jhatka’ meat is the flesh of animals slaughtered with a single blow of the blade.
“Today we have taken a very important step for the Hindu community in Maharashtra. Malhar Certification.com has been launched on this occasion,” Rane said in a post on X on Monday.
Through Malhar Certification, the Hindu community will have “access to their rightful mutton shops”.
“No adulteration will be found in the mutton anywhere,” the minister said.
He appealed to people not to buy mutton from shops which do not have the certification.
“These efforts will definitely make the youth of the Hindu community financially empowered,” the minister said.
