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. 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.
