A City in Gujarat Becomes World’s First to Ban Non-Vegetarian Food

In Gujarat’s Bhavnagar district, Palitana city has implemented a ban on non-vegetarian food, including the sale, consumption and slaughter of meat. This policy, which enforces the dietary laws of the Jain community across its entire population, clearly constitutes government overreach. It not only imposes a specific dietary preference but also extends government powers into areas of personal choice and freedom, areas typically considered sacrosanct under democratic principles.
