A member of the Hindu Armed Conflict Committee wrote a letter to the district administration that we have created four teams of 125 members who will go to different shops and request their owners to close the shops during Navratri. If we get a shop open during the festival, we will close it. Hindu organizations are saying that they had already given a written application to the district administration and appealed that during the Navaratri, the shops of meat were kept closed in the city. But if the administration does not take any action, then we will have to go on the roads ourselves and we would close it.
Sumit Kuhar, DCP (crime), said, “We won’t let anyone forcefully close down any meat shop during Navratri. If anyone wants to voluntarily close his shop, then it’s up to him.” Kuhar said the Gurugram police have asked all the SHOs to keep a close watch on the situation and to make sure that no shops are closed forcefully.
