Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike ordered the closure of meat shops in Bengaluru on August 30. The nation will celebrate the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami on Monday i.e. August 30. Ahead of the occasion, an order has been issued in the same concern by the BBMP in Kannada.

The order stated that "Meat shops will remain closed on Monday, 30th August on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami." The BBMP has earlier too, on the occasion, issued public notices ordering a ban on animal slaughter and sale of meat. Janmashtami festival believers observe the day by keeping fast and praying at temples. It is believed that Shri Krishna, who is the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu, was born on Earth to restore peace and Dharma in the Dwapar Yuga.

The day is said to be very auspicious for Hindus, as they celebrate the birth of Krishna as Janmashtami Mahotsav, which is also known as Gokulashatami. Janmashtami is usually observed on the eighth day or Ashtami of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Shravan or Bhadrapad.
