The closure of illegal slaughterhouses in Uttar Pradesh is possibly inspiring other Hindutva organisations and political parties in states run by the BJP government.
As many as 500 meat shops, including a
KFC outlet, in old Gurugram were allegedly shut down by over 200 Shiv Sainiks for nine days on account of Navratri.
They also threatened the shop owners on Tuesday to shut their establishments on every Tuesday.
"We have served notices to meat shop owners, including KFC, and other fast food outlets to shut their shops till Navratri ends and on every Tuesday," Gautam Saini, the president of Shiv Sena, Gurgaon, told PTI.
The Sena workers assembled at Palam Vihar on Tuesday and forced the closure of meat market and dhabas such as Bismillah Khan eatery in others areas too.
