Yogi Adityanath recommended that those involved in selling meat or liquor can shift to the milk trade.
On Monday, 30 August, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath imposed a complete ban on the sale of liquor and meat in Mathura. According to news agency ANI, the UP CM stated: “Saints and public representatives are of the view that liquor and meat shouldn’t be consumed here.”
The administration is organising counselling and training of those engaged in such activities so that they can shift to a different trade, he further added.
The monk-turned-politician, speaking at a Krishnotsava 2021 programme in Lucknow, recommended that those involved in selling meat or liquor can shift to the milk trade, PTI reported.
The CM said that this would help Mathura regain its lost glory of being a top milk-producer.
Adityanath went on to claim that the every effort will be made to develop Brij Bhumi with adequate funding. “We are looking at a blend of modern technology and cultural and spiritual heritage for the development of the region,” he said.
