Bmc Meat Ban

On Thursday, meat will be available in Mumbai, the High Court ruled today, putting on hold a ban that has sparked a political controversy and much debate on social media.

An all-party meet organised in the Mumbai suburb of Mira-Bhayander by a Shiv Sena lawmaker to discuss the meat ban saw members of the BJP protest outside the venue, alleging that the sole aim of the meet was to target their party.

After much debate and controversy, the meat ban in Mumbai has been cut short to just one more day. The decision by the city's civic body came as the Bombay High Court today described the ban as regressive.

Hearing arguments on a controversial meat ban in Mumbai, a court today questioned the Maharashtra government: "When you are talking of Ahimsa, how come fish, sea food and eggs are not banned?"

Meat shops were open on the first of a controversial four-day ban that the ruling BJP is insisting on enforcing, putting it in another direct confrontation with ally Shiv Sena, which has vowed to scuttle the ban. Mutton traders in the city have gone to court against the order.

Close on the heels of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) suspending the sale of meat in its markets for four days, now the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, controlled by the NCP, has announced a similar measure till September 17, as these dates fall within the eight-day Jain fasting period of 'Paryushan'.
