. AYODHYA: The Ayodhya administration has banned the delivery of non-vegetarian food in a radius of 15 kilometres of the Ram temple, following “complaints that food delivery companies are supplying non-veg food in the periphery of Ayodhya town that is marked under ‘paanch kosi parikrama’ area”. A warning has also been issued to hotels and homestays in Ayodhya town that were reportedly serving non-vegetarian food and alcoholic drinks to their guests. Ayodhya assistant food commissioner Manik Chandra Singh said, “We received complaints that despite a previously imposed ban, non-vegetarian food was being served to tourists through online orders. Following this, a ban was imposed on online non-vegetarian deliveries as well.” “All hotels, shopkeepers and delivery companies have been informed of the ban order. Continuous monitoring would be done by the administration to ensure compliance,” Ayodhya assistant food commissioner said. ]However, over two dozen licensed liquor shops still exist on the Ram Path despite a motion adopted by Ayodhya municipal corporation (AMC) last May to ban the sale of liquor and meat on the 14-kilometre stretch of Ram Path. An AMC official said, “We have tried to remove the meat shops on Ram Path even in Faizabad city, but for removing liquor shops from Ram Path, we have to take permission from the district administration.”About the AuthorArshad Afzaal KhanWith TOI since April 2011, reports from Ayodhya.
