Delhi’s Roads to Be Meat-Free? Govt Orders Action Against Sellers
The Delhi government has decided to stop illegal meat and fish sales in the city. Minister Pravesh Verma has asked officials to take action against people selling these items without permission. He clearly stated that no one should sell meat or fish illegally, and strict steps will be taken to remove such vendors.
Issue Raised in Assembly
This matter was discussed in the Delhi Assembly on Thursday. BJP MLA Karnail Singh from Shakur Basti asked when action would be taken against meat and fish shops running near religious places. Minister Verma replied that all illegal meat and fish shops in Delhi would face action, and orders have already been given to the officials.
Tough Time for Small Sellers
With this decision, people selling meat and fish on roadsides will have a tough time. Many of them belong to lower-income groups and rely on this business for their livelihood. Customers, especially those from poor backgrounds, may also find it difficult to buy meat and fish easily. This step by the government is likely to have a big impact.
