After a row erupted over eateries on the Kanwar Yatra route in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar being asked to display their owners’ names, opposition parties saw the significant move as “anti-Muslim”. The preparations for the Kanwar Yatra, which is set to commence on July 22, are underway accompanied by new guidelines from the administration. On Wednesday (July 18), police in the Muzaffarnagar district issued an order concerning the Kanwar Yatra route, mandating that all eateries display the names of their owners prominently outside their establishments. This directive aims to avoid confusion and ensure transparency during the religious procession. #KanwarYatra2024 #UPGovt #YogiAdityanath #AkhileshYadav #UPGovernment #BJP #DisplayNames #EateriesGuidelines #AntiMuslimControversy #ReligiousTolerance #CommunalTensions #ReligiousFreedom #IndiaPolitics #UPPolitics #MuslimRights #HinduFestival #PublicPolicy #CulturalSensitivity #EqualityForAll ~PR.152~ED.101~HT.95~
