Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday imposed a complete ban on the sale of liquor and meat in Mathura. 'The officers concerned are directed to make plans for the ban as well as for the engagement of people involved in such activities in some other trade,' he said.

The chief minister was speaking at the Krishnotsava 2021 programme here. He suggested that those engaged in liquor and meat trade may take up selling milk in order to revive the glory of Mathura, that was known for producing huge quantity of animal milk.
