Delhi's Culture and Tourism Minister, Kapil Mishra, announced that meat shops along the Kanwar Yatra routes will be closed from July 11th to 23rd. This decision, a first for the capital, aims to facilitate the passage of lakhs of devotees from neighboring states.

This measure respects devotees' sentiments, with notices issued for non-compliance. Meat shops near temples must shut or relocate. CM Yogi Adityanath ordered strict action against disrespectful acts.
