Supreme Court Refuses to Lift Somnath Non-Veg Food Ban

The Supreme Court has declined to lift restrictions on preparing, selling and storing non-vegetarian food near Gujarat's Somnath Temple, saying a balance must be maintained. Restaurant owners challenged the Gir Somnath district administration's August notification, which covers Prabhas Patan routes and areas within 500 metres of the temple. The court asked the Gujarat High Court to decide pending appeals within two months.
