Lucknow: In a significant move aimed at preserving the religious sanctity of ayodhya, authorities have imposed a complete ban on the sale and delivery of non-vegetarian food within a 15-kilometre radius of the ram Temple. The decision comes as part of measures to maintain the spiritual atmosphere surrounding the revered temple town, which attracts millions of devotees from across the country and abroad.
According to official sources, food delivery services and restaurants operating in the designated area have been instructed to strictly adhere to the ban. The directive applies not only to dine-in services but also to online food delivery platforms, ensuring that non-vegetarian items are not supplied in any form within the restricted zone.
The administration stated that the move aligns with the religious sentiments of devotees and the cultural significance of ayodhya as a sacred city. Officials have warned that strict action will be taken against establishments or individuals found violating the order. Regular inspections and monitoring mechanisms have been put in place to ensure compliance.
Local authorities emphasized that the ban is intended to uphold cleanliness, discipline, and reverence in the temple surroundings, especially as ayodhya continues to witness a surge in pilgrim footfall following the inauguration of the ram Temple. Residents and business owners have been advised to cooperate with the administration in implementing the regulation smoothly.
The decision has sparked mixed reactions, with many devotees welcoming the step as a measure to preserve sanctity, while some traders and service providers have expressed concerns over its impact on livelihoods. However, officials reiterated that the priority remains maintaining the spiritual and cultural ethos of Ayodhya.
