Holy City goes Dry and Meat free

The ban on alcohol and meat along the Ram Path in Ayodhya is a directive by the Uttar Pradesh government aimed at preserving the religious sanctity of the area surrounding the Ram Mandir. The Ram Path, a key pilgrimage route, is being developed as a sacred zone, and the consumption or sale of meat and alcohol is considered incompatible with its spiritual atmosphere. This move aligns with traditional Hindu values that discourage such items in holy places.
