Meat, alcohol banned in Amritsar Walled City, Talwandi Sabo & Anandpur Sahib

The Punjab government has prohibited the sale of meat, tobacco, alcohol, and other intoxicants in Amritsar’s Walled City, Talwandi Sabo, and Sri Anandpur Sahib after declaring them "holy cities". A resolution was unanimously passed last month declaring them "holy cities" during a special session of Punjab Assembly in Sri Anandpur Sahib to mark 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur.
