SC stays UP diktat on vatra eateries
The Free Press Journal|July 23, 2024
The Supreme Court on Monday ordered an interim stay on the directives issued by BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand asking eatery owners along the Kanwar Yatra routes to display the names of their owners, the staff and other details.

Issuing notice to the governments of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh, where the Ujjain municipal body has issued a similar directive, a bench of Justices Hrishikesh Roy and SVN Bhatti, however, said eateries may be required to display the kind of food they are serving -- vegetarian or nonvegetarian.

A large number of devotees travel from various places with 'kanwars' carrying holy water from the Ganga to perform 'jaabhishek' of Shivlings during "Shravan' (July 22 to August 19) Many believers don't consume meat during the month.

The order comes amid an escalating row over the directives, with even BJP ally Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) joining the chorus for their withdrawal and opposition parties resolving to raise the issue in Parliament.
