Mathura: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath has imposed a complete ban on the sale of meat and liquor in Mathura.
He has directed the concerned officers to make plans for the ban and also make sure the people engaged in selling meat and liquor could be 'rehabilitated' in an organized way.
The chief minister was speaking at the Krishnotsava 2021 program organized in Mathura on the occasion of Janmashtami.”In 2017, we made the Nagar Nigam here and then declared seven areas as pilgrimage sites.
