MATHURA: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday imposed a total ban on the sale of liquor and meat to Mathura.
“Interested officers are directed to make plans for the ban as well as for the participation of people involved in these activities in some other trade,” he said.
Yogi was speaking on the Krishnotsava 2021 program in Mathura. He suggested that those engaged in the liquor and meat trade could start selling milk to revive the glory of Mathura, known for producing a large amount of animal milk.
The UP chief minister also begged Lord Krishna to remove Covid-19.
“Every effort will be made to develop ‘brij bhumi’ and there will be no shortage of funds for it. We are looking at a mix of modern technology and cultural and spiritual heritage for the development of the region,” he said.
Yogi also congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for giving a new direction to the country. He said long-neglected places of faith are now recovering. Cabinet ministers Laxmi Narain Chaudhary and Shrikant Sharma were also present on the occasion.
