The Supreme Court is currently hearing a plea against the UP and Uttarakhand governments’ directive requiring Kanwar Yatra shops to display QR codes linked to FSSAI details, revealing shop owners’ identities.

New Delhi: Srawan also known as Shravan is considered a highly auspicious and pious month for Hindus, particularly for the worship of Lord Shiva.

During this holy month, Bhole Baba's devotees practice of consuming vegetarian food is a part of their spiritual journey.

On this occasion, the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand governments have ordered QR arrangements in food stalls over the Kawariyas routes.

The UP and Uttarakhand governments' main motto on QR codes is linking revealing shop owners' identities.

 

 

The Supreme Court is currently hearing a plea against the UP and Uttarakhand governments' directive requiring Kanwar Yatra shops to display QR codes linked to FSSAI details, revealing shop owners' identities.

The petitioners argue this is a breach of privacy and contradicts a previous Supreme Court order against forcing shop owners to reveal their details.

The court has given the states a week to respond.

It's the fifth month in the Hindu lunar calendar and often coincides with the monsoon season in India.

Many devotees observe fasts, perform special prayers and rituals, and visit temples dedicated to Lord Shiva throughout the month.
