  • Twenty-two meat shops operating along these corridors received relocation notices valid for seven days under threat of legal action.
  • The move was prompted by a complaint at Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s Janata Darbar about shops near sacred pathways.
  • On May 1, the Ayodhya Municipal Corporation passed a resolution to ban meat, liquor and tobacco sales along the 14-km stretch of Ram Path.
  • Mayor Girish Pati Tripathi confirmed plans to extend the ban to include liquor sales on the same routes.
