The Assam government has taken a decision to ban the sale of meat and fish until 4pm Monday. This ban is in line with the restrictions imposed in other Indian states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, and Haryana. Additionally, a dry day has been declared, with liquor shops remaining closed on Monday. The ban and the closure of liquor shops are aimed at observing a consecration ceremony and maintaining cultural traditions. These measures have been implemented to respect religious sentiments and ensure the smooth conduct of the ceremony.
