Kanwar Yatra: BJP MLA Seeks Liquor, Meat Ban Along Pilgrimage Routes
Delhi BJP MLA Tarvinder Singh Marwah has urged authorities to temporarily shut down liquor and meat shops along the Kanwar Yatra routes. This move, he says, is crucial to maintaining the sanctity of the religious pilgrimage.
The request comes on the heels of a similar temporary closure during the recent Navratri festivities. Mr. Marwah believes such measures will prevent untoward incidents and ensure a peaceful journey for devotees.
Several Sikh gurdwaras have pledged their support to the pilgrims, offering assistance and refreshments along the routes. This collaborative effort underscores the community’s commitment to facilitating a smooth and respectful pilgrimage.
The MLA’s appeal highlights the delicate balance between religious sentiments and public access, raising questions about the practicality and potential impact of such temporary restrictions. The upcoming Kanwar Yatra will be a key test of how effectively these concerns are addressed.
