Meghalaya BJP MLA Sanbor Shullai slams Assam govt's beef ban, calls it an affront to personal freedom

The decision by the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led government in Assam amends the Assam Cattle Preservation Act of 2021, further tightening restrictions.

While the Act already prohibits cattle slaughter and the sale of beef in areas predominantly inhabited by Hindus, Jains, or Sikhs, and within a five-kilometer radius of temples or Vaishnavite monasteries (sattras), the new provisions extend the ban to public venues such as hotels and restaurants statewide.
