The South Delhi Municipal Corporation on Monday demanded the closing of the meat shops during Navratri and said that devotees do not eat non-vegetarian food, consume alcohol, and other spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a letter released by South Delhi Mayor Mukkesh Suryaan, he said that during Navratri days, people visit temples to worship the Goddess Durga. Devotees don’t even use garlic and onion in the food and the sight of meat being sold near temples makes them uncomfortable, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also said that meat shops dump the waste beside the road and in gutters and stray dogs feed on it which is not only unhygienic but disgusts the passerby. This should be restricted during the Navratri festival, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suryaan further added that the religious beliefs and sentiments of devotees are also affected when they come across the foul smell during their temple visits in Navaratri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to NDTV, the East Delhi Municipal Corporation Mayor Shyam Sundar Agarwal also demanded the closing of meat shops and said that this will make them happy during the festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
