Kanwar Yatra Nameplate Row: UP Govt Justifies Order to Name Shop Owners, Tells Supreme Court It Was to Ensure Transparency

The Uttar Pradesh government defended its directive requiring eateries along the Kanwariya route to display the names of their owners, citing the need to protect Kanwariyas' religious sentiments and maintain peace and ensure transparency. This response comes after the Supreme Court halted similar directives from UP, Uttarakhand, and other states, mandating that only the type of food served be displayed. The UP government argued that even minor confusions about food could hurt religious sentiments and cause unrest, especially in sensitive areas like Muzaffarnagar. Citing past incidents, the government emphasised that the directive was a proactive measure to prevent tensions and disturbances during the Kanwar Yatra. Kanwar Yatra Nameplate Controversy: ‘Don’t Force Eatery Owners To Display Their Names Outside Shops,’ Supreme Court Tells UP, Uttarakhand Govts.
