Overview

  • The Ayodhya Municipal Corporation passed a resolution on May 1 to ban the sale of meat, liquor, tobacco products, and related advertisements along the 14-km Ram Path.
  • The ban also requires restaurants and shops selling non-vegetarian food and alcohol to relocate at least 500 meters away from the route.
  • The resolution has been formally sent to the District Magistrate for approval and implementation planning, with no response yet from the administration.
  • The measure aims to uphold the religious sanctity of Ram Path, the main approach to the under-construction Ram Temple, which is nearing completion with gold-adorned doors and a gold-plated kalash.
  • The decision extends existing restrictions in Ayodhya town to the Faizabad stretch of Ram Path, which currently has numerous meat and liquor outlets.
