💨 Abstract

The Uttar Pradesh government has ordered the closure of illegal slaughterhouses and a ban on meat sales within 500 meters of religious places ahead of the Navratri festival. Special restrictions will also apply for Ram Navami, banning animal slaughter and meat sales completely. District-level committees have been formed to enforce these regulations. The nine-day Hindu festival of Navratri, dedicated to Goddess Durga, will commence on March 30.
