The state has launched a major drive as Bihar meat shops crack down on sale of meat fish without licenses across cities and towns. Authorities say Bihar meat shops crack down on sale of meat fish without licenses to protect public health and improve hygiene in local markets.
The Urban Development and Housing Department has directed all municipal bodies to inspect meat and fish shops. Officials will check trade licences, cleanliness, and waste disposal systems.
Teams will visit markets in more than 250 urban local bodies. They will shut shops that operate without valid documents. Officers will also fine vendors who ignore sanitation rules.
Licensed shop owners must follow strict hygiene standards. They must display licences clearly and keep their premises clean.
The government says this action will reduce health risks and ensure safe meat and fish sales for consumers across Bihar.
