Non Veg Egg Sale Banned in Rajasthan: The Government of Rajasthan decided to keep non -veg and egg shops closed for two days on Paryushan and Anant Chaturdashi. That is, on August 28, September 6, the state will not get Anda.
The Rajasthan government has taken an important decision this year. Till now, there was a tradition of keeping the slaughterhouses and non -vegetarian shops closed on religious festivals, but this time eggs selling shoals and shops have also been included in the scope of the ban. According to the order issued by the Department of Autonomous Governance, the sale of non -veg in the entire state will be completely banned on the occasion of Paryushan, the main festival of Jain community on August 28 and Anant Chaturdashi on 6 September.
Why Rajasthan government took such a big decision
- This decision has been taken in view of the long -standing demand of religious organizations. According to Jaipur Municipal Corporation data, the city has more than a thousand carts and small shops that cook and sell eggs. It will also be mandatory to keep these shops closed for the first time under this order.
- Till now, both these festivals in the state had only the rules to close the slaughterhouses, mutton and chicken shops. Eggs were not banned. But this time the government has made it clear that eggs also fall under the category of non -vegetarian, so respecting religious sentiments will also be banned.
- There are different reactions in the city on this decision. Religious organizations have welcomed it as a victory for faith. He says that this step will promote vegetarianism and will keep the dignity of religious festivals. At the same time, some traders selling eggs say that two days of ban will affect their business, but it is necessary to cooperate on religious occasions.
- Experts believe that such steps help maintain social harmony, provided they are implemented with dialogue and consent. After this decision, Rajasthan has joined the states where a strict ban on non -veg and eggs is also implemented on religious festivals.
- This order is not only important from a religious point of view but also gives the message that the government is taking decisions keeping in mind social sentiments.
