On a day when the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) decided to ban stalls selling non-vegetarian food along the main roads and within the 100-metre radius of schools and temples, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel stressed that the State was not bothered about what people ate, terming the drive a move against road encroachments.
Mr. Patel on Monday said the State Government had no problem with different food habits of people, an assertion coming amidst the demand for removal of non-vegetarian food carts from roads in various cities as the civic bodies had launched a drive against the food kiosks and carts.
According to Mr. Patel, action can be taken against street food carts selling “unhygienic” food or if they are obstructing traffic on city roads.
