‘Where Is the Choice?’: Delhi to Shut Meat Shops During Navratri, Twitter Reacts

The mayor has asked that all meat shops remain shut in Delhi during the festival of Navratri from 2-11 April.

The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) Mayor Mukkesh Suryaan in a letter to the commissioner asked the meat shops in the area to be shut during Navratri as it made devotees "uncomfortable".

Further, he also said that the "foul smell" from meat shops makes devotees who are passing from there feel uneasy. He also added that the shops were unhygienic. Because of these reasons, he sought to shut all meat shops between 2-11 April during the nine-day Hindu festival of Navratri.
