BJP MLA urges Delhi Govt to temporarily shut meat shops along Kanwar Yatra routes

Jun 27, 2025

"This Yatra is a matter of faith, in which Shiv devotees bring water from Haridwar and other holy places barefoot and perform Jalabhishek of Shivlings at their respective places. In order to maintain the religious atmosphere on this auspicious occasion, it is necessary to issue instructions to temporarily close the meat and fish shops located near the Kanwar routes in my constituency and across the UT for the duration of the Yatra, so that the religious sentiments of the devotees are not hurt," Marwah wrote.
