Lucknow: Famous Tunday Kababi shuts down post slaughterhouse ban

Lucknow : The famous food outlet Tunday Kababi in Lucknow remained shut on Thursday after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asked UP Police to prepare an action plan for closure of slaughterhouses across the state.

According to a report in Scroll, the outlet in Akbari Gate - which serves buffalo meat - was shut while the other outlet in Aminabad - which also serves chicken and mutton - was open.

Tunday Kababi had been in Lucknow since 1905. 

Four makeshift meat shops were set afire on Wednesday in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras area by anti-social elements, the town's residents said.

Earlier in the morning, three shops were set afire in the Uttar Pradesh town. The shopowners, Raees and Muhammad Sindhi said they came to know about the burning down of their shops by miscreants near Kashiram Colony around 3 a.m. 

The shopkeepers said their losses totalled around Rs 75,000. 

"An FIR has been lodged against unknown miscreants. We are investigating the matter," a police official said.
