Meat Shops To Be Closed In Hyderabad Tomorrow (April 10)
Hyderabad, April 9 (Maxim News): The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has announced that all meat shops across the city will remain closed on Thursday, April 10, in observance of Mahavir Jayanti, one of the most significant festivals in the Jain religion.
The GHMC Commissioner K. Ilambarithi has issued directives to the Police Commissioners of Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Rachakonda to ensure the closure of all shops selling chicken, mutton, beef, fish, and other meat products on that day. The decision has been taken out of respect for the religious sentiments of the Jain community and their principle of “Ahimsa” (non-violence).
The GHMC has also appealed to meat shop owners and vendors to voluntarily shut their shops on April 10 as a mark of solidarity and to promote communal harmony on this important religious day.
Mahavir Jayanti commemorates the birth of Lord Mahavir, the 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism. It is considered the most important spiritual celebration in the Jain calendar.
According to Jain beliefs, Lord Mahavir propagated five core principles: Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truth), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (celibacy), and Aparigraha (non-possessiveness). On this day, followers remember and pledge to practice these values.
Devotees mark Mahavir Jayanti by visiting temples, offering prayers, participating in religious processions (Rath Yatra), and singing bhajans and devotional hymns. The celebration reflects their deep reverence and spiritual devotion toward Lord Mahavir. (Maxim News)
