Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said slaughterhouses will not be allowed to come up in the temple town of Alandi in Pune district, reported the PTI.

The town, which houses a temple of poet-saint Dnyaneshwar, is one of the places from which processions of 'warkaris' or pilgrims set out for the Vitthal temple in Pandharpur every year.

CM Fadnavis has directed the removal of reservation of land for abattoir shown in the Development Plan of Alandi.
