He said construction would be made over an area of four kanals. The plot at Sector I-9/4 at the junction of IJ Principal Road and 9th Avenue is the fifth relocation of the site for the proposed facility after Jamiatul Quraish or butchers association rejected the previous site at Sector I-8/3 for the purpose.
Initially a chunk of land was allocated at Sector G-10 but later the authority decided to auction the plot reserved for the slaughterhouse.
And it was decided to move the proposed site to sector H-9/3. It was again opposed by the butchers and Islamabad Capital Territory Chamber of Small Traders. They were of the view that the project would cause stench and pollution in the middle of the city. For financial year 2014-15 the CDA has allocated Rs100 million for the construction of a slaughterhouse in capital
