The Varanasi Municipal Corporation enforced a ban on the sale of meat, fish, and poultry within its limits starting October 1, 2026, coinciding with Navratri. The ban is set to continue until October 19. Furthermore, the restriction will expand to a 20-to-30-kilometre radius around Namo Ghat from October 19 to October 26 due to the Indian Air Force’s aerial display.
