AMID ongoing controversy over opening of meat shops, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Thursday made it clear that there is no provision to shut meat shops on the Kanwar Yatra routes under the DMC ACT, 1957.
The statement came a day after Culture and Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra said that meat shops would remain shut along the Yatra routes, claiming the decision was taken jointly by the Delhi government and the MCD. Speaking during an inspection from Apsara Border to Karol Bagh, Mishra said, "The MCD has taken a decision, and the government has also decided that all the meat shops will be closed."
