Bengaluru Meat Ban on Gandhi Jayanti; Similar Measures Across India

Imagine it's a special day, like a birthday.

In Bengaluru, the people in charge have decided that meat shops and places where animals are slaughtered will be closed on Gandhi Jayanti.

This is to honor the day.

Other places in India also have similar rules sometimes, like during religious festivals.

For instance, some towns ban meat sales during Navratri to be respectful.

Some groups have even asked for similar rules near schools and temples to be respectful.
