Himachal Pradesh Reverses Decision on Mandatory Display of Eatery Owners' IDs

After backlash and internal criticism, the state government clarifies no final decision has been made on the controversial rule.

Himachal Pradesh initially announced a rule requiring eateries to display owners' IDs, similar to a policy in Uttar Pradesh.
The announcement led to significant backlash from the public and within the Congress party.
Minister Vikramaditya Singh cited concerns over hygiene and the rising number of migrants as reasons for the policy.
Following internal criticism, the Congress party summoned Singh to Delhi and reprimanded him for his remarks.
The state government has now clarified that no decision has been finalized, and the policy may not be implemented.
