After his first cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Mohan Yadav, the newly appointed chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, declared a ban on the open sale of meat and eggs.
“After the implementation of food safety rules, guidelines have been issued by the Government of India on the sale of meat and fish in the open. They will be strictly followed,” MP CM Yadav said while addressing a press conference in Bhopal.
Chief Minister Yadav stated that a campaign, involving the food department, police, and local urban bodies, will be launched to enforce the ban on the open sale of meat and fish from December 15 to 31.
Holding his first cabinet meeting after taking the oath of office, CM Yadav also issued a directive prohibiting the use of loudspeakers at religious places beyond permissible decibel levels.
A flying squad will be set up in each district to oversee the sound levels emanating from loudspeakers and DJ systems in religious establishments.
Furthermore, the cabinet resolved to elevate a minimum of one government college in each district to the status of a ‘PM College of Excellence,’ furnished with contemporary amenities like smart-class seminar halls and hostels, as per the chief minister. In the effort to address crime, Yadav directed police officials to ensure that individuals committing new offenses while on bail have their bail revoked and are incarcerated.
