Ayodhya Bans Non-Veg Food Delivery Near Ram Temple
The city of Ayodhya has decided to stop the sale and delivery of non-vegetarian food within a 15-km radius of the Ram Temple and a special walking path called the Panchkosi Parikrama route.
This rule applies to all restaurants, hotels, and even online food delivery services.
The authorities have warned that they will take strict action against anyone who breaks this rule.
They have also told all the businesses and delivery companies about this new rule.
The decision was made because some places were not following the old rule that already banned non-vegetarian food in that area.
The authorities will keep checking to make sure everyone follows the new rule.
Despite a previous ban on liquor and meat sales along the Ram Path, many outlets continue to sell alcohol, and the authorities are working to enforce the ban.
Ayodhya administration banned the delivery of non-vegetarian food within a 15-km radius of the Ram Temple and Panchkosi Parikrama route.
The ban follows complaints about online food delivery platforms supplying non-veg items in the area.
Authorities have issued strict warnings to hotels and homestays to refrain from serving non-vegetarian food and alcoholic drinks.
Despite a May 2025 ban on liquor and meat sales along the 14-km Ram Path, enforcement has been lax, with many outlets still selling alcohol.
All hotels, shopkeepers, and delivery companies have been informed of the new ban, and continuous monitoring will be conducted to ensure compliance.
