After UP, Himachal Wants Names Of Eatery Owners Displayed | Read

Restaurants and eateries in Himachal Pradesh will now have to display the names of their owners and staff, with the state's Congress government deciding to follow the example of the BJP government in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh. The matter will be finalised at a meeting and the rule will be implemented from January, starting with state capital Shimla, sources said. The interval will be used for "preparations" including issuance of identity cards.

"We have decided to strictly enforce the rules in the state, much like Uttar Pradesh," Urban Development Minister Vikramaditya Singh told reporters, underscoring it is meant to ensure supply of hygienic food.
