North Delhi civic body ask restaurants, shops to mention meat is halal or jhatka

Restaurants and shops in north Delhi will now have to "mandatorily" display whether the meat being sold or served is halal or jhatka as the BJP-led North Delhi Municipal Corporation on Tuesday cleared a proposal in this regard, its mayor said.

The proposal was recently moved by the Standing Committee of the NDMC.

"Restaurants and shops in north Delhi will now have to mandatorily display whether the meat being sold or served is halal or jhatka," said North Delhi Mayor Jai Prakash.

North Delhi has a number of eateries, restaurants and street-side shops selling or serving non-vegetarian food items, prominent places being Chandni Chowk, Daryaganj and Kashmere Gate.

A similar proposal was cleared by the House of the BJP-led South Delhi Municipal Corporation late January.

Restaurants and shops in markets in areas like Defence Colony, Amar Colony, Sarojini Nagar, South Extension, and INA sell non-vegetarian items.

Officials had earlier said restaurants and meat shops will have to "display clearly and visibly" whether they are serving halal or jhatka.
