Police detain four after raiding shops selling non-vegetarian food along Kanwar pilgrimage routes.
In the first incident, police received information on Saturday evening that chicken biryani was being sold at a shop near the old Roadways bus stand in Bahedi. The action comes amid heightened police and administrative surveillance on Kanwar routes during the ongoing Sawan month. Later, police raided another shop near the bakery area and detained two persons.
Police said the traders had already been warned against selling non-vegetarian food during the Kanwar pilgrimage but allegedly continued to operate.
Despite an earlier warning, the shop was found operating, following which police detained the shopkeepers, identified as Salman, a resident of Lodhipur, and Raees.
