After a row erupted over eateries on the Kanwar Yatra route in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar being asked to display their owners’ names, opposition parties saw the significant move as “anti-Muslim”.
The preparations for the Kanwar Yatra, which is set to commence on July 22, are underway accompanied by new guidelines from the administration.
On Wednesday (July 18), police in the Muzaffarnagar district issued an order concerning the Kanwar Yatra route, mandating that all eateries display the names of their owners prominently outside their establishments.
This directive aims to avoid confusion and ensure transparency during the religious procession.
The annual Kanwar Yatra, a Hindu pilgrimage dedicated to Lord Shiva, begins as millions of devotees embark on a sacred journey across central India. Kanwariyas, as the pilgrims are known, travel on foot to collect holy water from the Ganges River, carrying it back to local Shiva temples. This month-long event, concentrated in states like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh, sees devotees seeking blessings for health, prosperity, and spiritual purification through their arduous trek and ritualistic offerings.

Facades of two mosques and a mazar in Haridwar were covered with white cloth during the Kanwar Yatra to prevent trouble, but removed after objections. Local leaders and caretakers were unaware of the decision, which they criticized for disrupting the traditional harmony between Hindu and Muslim communities. Congress leaders condemned the action as divisive and potentially contemptuous of the Supreme Court's stance on religious identity displays.

The Supreme Court on July 22 stayed the order passed by Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand police asking eatery owners along the Kanwar Yatra path to display names of owners and the staff employed by them. The directives issued by the Uttar Pradesh government are discriminatory, the top court said. The court was hearing a plea by an NGO that challenged the orders issued by the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand government. The order directed shop owners and eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to display the names of their owners.

In a recent statement from Muzaffarnagar, Jayant Chaudhary openly criticized the government's decision to implement name plates on the Kawad route. Chaudhary highlighted that the kawad carriers and volunteers should not be identified by religion or caste. He questioned the practicality of the decision and urged the government to either reverse it or not emphasize it too much. Chaudhary's remarks call for careful consideration to avoid unnecessary divisions among people based on their identities.

In Muzaffarnagar, a longstanding tradition among Muslims to set up camps for Kanwariyas during the annual Kanwar Yatra has come to a halt this year. This decision follows new regulations by Uttar Pradesh authorities requiring eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to prominently display the names of their owners. Muzaffarnagar Police issued this directive, causing concern among local Muslims who had been organizing these camps since the 2013 riots.
