UP Police Asks Man to Serve Chicken Instead of Buffalo Meat at Daughter's Wedding

News18 | March 28,2017 Moradabad: Days after the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Aditya Nath Yogi banned illegal slaughterhouses in the state, a Muslim family was denied permission to serve buffalo meat at his daughter's wedding in Moradabad district. Sarfaraz Hussain told CNN-News18 that he had written to the local police seeking permission to serve buffalo meat at the wedding ceremony but it was denied. Instead, the police advised him to serve chicken instead of beef in the function. Following the ban on illegal slaughterhouses, there has been great confusion in the state and meat sellers are facing a hard time. Meat sellers across the state have now gone on strike against what they are calling harassment following the government’s crackdown. Source : News18.com
