The Uttar Pradesh government, on Friday, appeared before the Supreme Court to explain its directive requiring eateries along the Kanwariya route to display the names of their owners. The government asserted that this measure was implemented to safeguard the religious sentiments of the Kanwariyas, ensuring that no accidental offense occurs. The primary objective, they emphasized, was to maintain peace and tranquility during the pilgrimage. This statement comes as the Supreme Court examines the validity of the Uttar Pradesh government’s order.
