Supreme Court Keeps Somnath Non-Veg Food Ban for Now
The Supreme Court has declined to lift the ban on non-vegetarian food near the Somnath Temple in Gujarat. Restaurant owners had challenged the restriction. The court said a balance must be kept and asked the Gujarat High Court to decide their challenge within two months.
