Uttar Pradesh issues new guidelines for shops on Kanwar Yatra route

The Uttar Pradesh government has issued new guidelines for shops along the Kanwar Yatra route. The Food Safety and Drug Administration has clarified that displaying owner names is not mandatory, but shops must display their names and install QR codes. These codes will contain details such as the shop's name, licence number, address, mobile number, and email ID. Pilgrims can scan these codes to access shop information. The move comes as yatris begin arriving in Haridwar for the event starting on 11th July.
