The construction of a hi-tech slaughterhouse on the outskirts of Raichur city by the district administration and the municipal corporation has triggered strong opposition from local residents, who have demanded that the project be shifted to an alternative location. The slaughterhouse is being built on five acres of government land in Survey No. 95/1 of Yeramarus Ward No. 33. Locals argue that the selected site is surrounded by densely populated residential layouts and important public institutions, making it unsuitable for such a facility. Schools, colleges, hostels, religious centres and newly developed housing layouts are located in the immediate vicinity. In addition, construction of the Raichur airport is progressing nearby, turning the area into a prime development zone.
