Confusion in Ujjain over MP stance on display of eatery owners’ names

New Indian Express  

BHOPAL: The Ujjain municipal corporation in Madhya Pradesh made a U-turn on Sunday, a day after asking shop owners to display their names and mobile numbers outside their establishments in the ancient city, a directive that came on the heels of a similar order by the BJP government in UP for eateries along the Kanwar Yatra routes. On Saturday evening, the Ujjain corporation’s assistant commissioner released a statement containing an appeal by mayor Mukesh Tatwal to mandatorily display shop owners’ names and phone numbers within the municipal limits of the pilgrim city. The urban development and housing department also issued a statement, making it clear that no instructions had been issued for display of owners’ names on shops on Kanwar Yatra route. “There were reports about some urban local bodies compulsorily getting owners’ names displayed on shops falling on the Kanwar Yatra routes, but the department has directed all local bodies to stay away from such confusion,” the statement said.
