In an interim order, the Supreme Court has suspended Uttar Pradesh's directive requiring shop owners along Kanwar Yatra routes to display their names. The order now mandates only the display of the type of food served. This decision follows a plea by an NGO, citing the directive as arbitrary and potentially discriminatory. Similar orders in Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh have also been questioned. The court has issued notices to these states for clarification. Critics argue the directive unfairly targets minorities and raises concerns about identity-based exclusion.
