In a historic move, Palitana city in Gujarat's Bhavnagar district has banned the sale and consumption of non-vegetarian food, making it the world's first city to do so. The decision comes after protests by 200 Jain monks, who demanded the closure of 250 butcher shops. The ban reflects the strong influence of Jainism and its principles in the region. Other Gujarat cities like Rajkot, Vadodara, Junagadh, and Ahmedabad have also implemented similar regulations. This move marks a significant cultural and religious shift in the state.
