This information was given by Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Mishra. Mishra told reporters that most of these meat shops are illegal anyway and they should not run according to the law. But they will be specially closed during the Kavad Yatra.
During the sacred month of the Hindu calendar, devotees travel to Kavad to offer water to Lord Shiva in various temples by taking water from the holy rivers. This year Kavad Yatra will start from July 11. During the Kavad Yatra, which runs from July 11 to July 23, meat shops will now be closed in Delhi on the lines of UP. This information was given by Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Mishra. Mishra told reporters that most of these meat shops are illegal anyway and they should not run according to the law. But they will be specially closed during the Kavad Yatra.
However, the minister did not clarify whether this ban would apply only to meat shops falling on the pilgrimage route. He said that there is no need for demand about this. They will be specially closed during the Kavad Yatra. These are all illegal shops and we cannot allow them to operate during the Kavad Yatra.
In the neighboring state of Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Adityanath has also directed the officials to ensure that no meat is sold on the Kavad Yatra route in the state. On 26 June, the government also ordered that all eateries on the pilgrimage route would have to show the names of their owners.
On the other hand, BJP MLA from Jungpura Tarwinder Singh Marwah wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah requesting to temporarily close all liquor and meat shops on the Kavad Yatra route in Delhi. The MLA had said that temporary ban on alcohol and meat shops would respect the sanctity of the journey and prevent any possible untoward incident.
