Delhi PWD Minister Pravesh Verma requested MLAs to report to the government any encroachment by meat shops on PWD roads in their respective constituencies. Verma said action would be taken against encroachment in any part of Delhi.
He appealed to all the MLAs to make a list of it in their respective assembly constituencies and hand it over to him and when a drive is launched against encroachment, he would personally oversee it. "Encroachment will not be tolerated in Delhi," he said.
Verma also informed the House that orders have already been issued to remove illegal units selling meat or fish.
AAP Says Shut KFCs
Reacting to Ravinder Negi's remark of religious sentiments being hurt by meat shops, the AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said to the BJP: "Here there are Embassies of various countries, there, meat and fish are cooked. Ask Modiji to shut embassies. There are so many guest houses in Delhi from various countries, even there also meat is cooked. KFC outlets and BJP leaders' restaurants are open; try closing them if you [BJP] have the guts. Why are liquor shops open during Navratri? Close liquor shops throughout Navratri."
