Meat Shops Should Be Shut In Delhi During Navratri: South Delhi Mayor | Read

Meat shops in Delhi should be shut during the "auspicious period of Navratri devoted to Goddess Durga", the South Delhi Municipal Corporation said Monday, adding that devotees during these nine days abstain from use of non-vegetarian food, alcohol and also certain spices. "During Navratri days, people visit temple to pay their respect to the Goddess and to seek blessings for themselves and their families. In these days people forgo even use of onion and garllic in their diet and the sight of meat being sold in open or near temples makes them uncomfortable," Mayor Mukkesh Suryaan said in his letter.
