Early morning inspections revealed 44,000 kilograms of meat and poultry were checked. Dead chickens were discovered in a warehouse, prompting legal action. The Meat Safety team also found a shop secretly preparing dead poultry for sale.

Despite resistance, the operation, conducted under police supervision, successfully removed the harmful meat, highlighting significant hygiene issues at the shop.
