GUWAHATI: In a significant move, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced a comprehensive ban on the serving and consumption of beef across the state. The decision, which extends to both hotels and restaurants, prohibits the serving of beef at these establishments.

The restrictions also apply to social events and religious gatherings, aiming to respect the sentiments of various communities and promote communal harmony.

The new policy has sparked mixed reactions, with some welcoming the decision, citing its potential to foster peace, while others have raised concerns over its impact on the state's diverse culinary traditions.

The Assam government has emphasized that the implementation of these measures will be closely monitored in the coming days. The ban aligns with the BJP-led government’s broader approach to regulating practices involving cattle, a sensitive issue in many parts of India.

As the state adapts to these changes, the government's focus remains on balancing cultural practices with respect for all communities.
