In a big move, Madhya Pradesh’s newly
appointed Chief Minister Mohan Yadav declared a prohibition on the open sale of
meat and eggs after his first cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
“After the implementation of food safety
rules, guidelines have been issued by the Indian Government on the sale of meat
and fish in the open. They will be strictly followed,” said MP CM Yadav while
addressing a press conference in Bhopal.
CM Yadav said a campaign involving the Food
department, police, and local urban bodies will be launched to implement the
ban on the open sale of meat and fish from December 15 to 31.
Holding his first cabinet meeting after
taking the oath of office, CM Yadav issued a directive prohibiting the use of
loudspeakers at religious places beyond tolerable decibel levels.
Each district will set up a flying squad
to monitor sound levels from loudspeakers and DJ systems in religious places.
Moreover, the cabinet decided to improve
at least one government college in each district to a PM College of Excellence,
where modern facilities such as smart class seminar halls and hostels will be
provided, said the CM.
To combat crime, Yadav directed police
officials to ensure that individuals committing fresh offences while on bail
have their bail revoked, and jailed.
