Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha has unleashed a hygiene revolution in Bihar, outlawing meat sales on public roads to uphold dignity and order. The proclamation rang out in the assembly’s budget session, where he fielded questions on diverse departmental allocations.
Clear and commanding, Sinha specified that only rule-compliant, licensed outlets may vend meat. Open displays that offend passersby are history. ‘This government resolves with responsibility, not rowdyism,’ he proclaimed, detailing instructions already circulated to enforcement wings.
The catalyst? A Darbhanga episode exposed during a land reform dialogue, where meat stalls repelled commuters entirely. Sinha’s prompt directive has yielded results there, paving the way for statewide rollout. Penal measures ensure adherence.
In tandem, taxing hearses is scrapped—a compassionate touch amid reforms. Mirroring national trends like Uttar Pradesh’s curtain mandates for meat visibility, Bihar prioritizes passerby comfort. This isn’t mere regulation; it’s a blueprint for sensitive urban planning.
Vendors, take note: adapt to enclosed, screened setups or risk shutdowns. For Bihar’s millions, it means navigable streets free from distress, marking progress in empathetic administration.
