Beef shortage forces Kolkata restaurants to adapt

In Kolkata, many restaurants have stopped serving beef because there isn't enough available.

This started in May when a law about animal slaughter was enforced, causing slaughterhouses to close.

Restaurants like Olypub and Zam Zam have had to remove beef dishes from their menus, which has led to big losses and some staff being let go.

Beef is now very expensive and hard to find, so some places are serving smaller portions or buying meat from outside the state.

The situation is uncertain, and no one knows when beef will be available again.
