BENGALURU: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has announced the closure of all meat stalls and non-vegetarian restaurants from January 23 to February 17, ahead of the Aero India Show. Scheduled to take place from February 10 to 14 at the Yelahanka Air Force Station, the event's proximity has led to the prohibition of non-vegetarian food sales within a 13 km radius. BBMP officials cited concerns over scavenger birds, particularly kites, being attracted to food waste, which poses a risk of mid-air accidents. Violators of this order will face penalties under the BBMP Act-2020 and the Indian Aircraft Rules 1937. The Aero India Show, a significant biennial event, will include a Defence Ministers' Conclave, a CEOs' round-table, and a large exhibition, reinforcing its status as a premier aerospace exhibition since its inception in 1996.
