Ghaziabad KFC Shut Down Amidst Protest Over Meat Sales During Sawan

A KFC outlet in Ghaziabad was forcibly shut down on Friday by the Hindu Raksha Dal due to the sale of meat during the month of Sawan. The activists, protesting against the sale of non-vegetarian food during the Kanwar Yatra, raised religious slogans. A video of the event quickly gained traction online, depicting KFC employees’ reactions to the protest. In response to the incident, Section 163 of the Indian Civil Security Code (BNSS) has been imposed in the district, and authorities have filed an FIR against unknown individuals. The Kanwar Yatra, a significant annual pilgrimage, is a major event.
