New Delhi: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has directed its 12 zones to shut all unauthorised meat shops and take action against licensed outlets found violating permit conditions along Kanwar Yatra routes and near Kanwar camps as the annual pilgrimage is set to begin later this week. The civic body has also asked officials to complete all civic arrangements before the yatra, during which 308 Kanwar camps are scheduled to operate across the national capital from July 30 to August 11, officials said. The memorandum said MCD had been assigned the responsibility of clearing encroachments from camp sites well in advance of the yatra. The civic body has directed officials to ensure that no unauthorised or unlicensed meat shop functions along the yatra routes or around Kanwar camps. It also said action should be taken against licensed meat shops found violating the terms and conditions of their licences.
