The meeting rejected this notification terming against ethics and decided not to provide the customers data on any cast.
President of JQMWA Khurshid Ahmed said that they would not provide information of their respectable customers to local administration.
He announced a strike against this notification and said butchers will launch protest around the country against this unlawful notification and will never compromise on this problem.
Butchers will go on strike and never restore the meat supply to federal capital until the exception of their demands, statement said.
