Data shows that the share of meat-eaters has risen in all the states in India in the past decade, with Delhi showing the highest increase. Moreover, 71% of Indians over the age of 15 are non-vegetarian.

New Delhi: For the first time in New Delhi, the civic body has announced the closure of meat shops during the Hindu festival of Navratri, shutting down people’s livelihoods and denying people the right to choose what to eat.

Although the mayors of the BJP-led South and East Delhi Municipal Corporation (MCD) announced the ‘meat ban’, an official order in this connection is yet to be issued. The commissioner, who has executive powers, seems to have not approved the order.

“Most of the meat shops were closed today [April 5]. Most people do not eat meat, onion-garlic during Navratri time. So keeping in view the religious sentiments of the public, there is no need to open meat shops during the Navratri festival. An order in this regard will be issued today,” South MCD mayor Mukesh Suryan said.

This time, the Chaitra Navratri is also coinciding with the month of Ramzan, the holiest month for the Muslim community.

Meanwhile, several meat shops in East and South Delhi have shut down, fearing action by officials.

BJP MP Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma supported the mayors’ decision and said the ban should be extended across the country. “Our culture says that we have to respect every religion… Modi government schemes are for every religion,” the MP said. He further said, “During Christmas and Ramzan, Hindus respect their religions. Similarly, when it’s a Hindu festival, it should be respected.”
