‘Mama-Bhanje’ restaurant in Kanpur bulldozed by the Municipal Corporation

  • Restaurant had encroached the footpath

  • A Muslim was running the restaurant faking a Hindu identity

  • Non-veg items were being served in the name of vegetarian items

‘Mama-Nephew’ restaurant destroyed by bulldozers

Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh) – The Kanpur Municipal Corporation bulldozed the ‘Mama-Bhanje’ restaurant here. The eatery was built by encroaching the footpath, and Mubeen Ahmed was running the eatery pretending to be a Hindu.

Non-vegetarian food was sold here under the name of vegetarian food. The Municipal Corporation took this bold action following a complaint regarding the encroachment. (How can the Kanpur Municipal Corporation, which takes action after receiving a complaint of encroachment, be unaware of this ? If no one had complained, the municipality would never have known about it. Why should such people be fed with the public’s tax money ? Is the Municipal Corporation going to find out how many other encroachments are there in the city or is it going to wait for similar complaints ? – Editor). The Government has already made it mandatory to write the owner’s name on all dhabas and restaurants.

Editorial Perspective

It is impossible to imagine how many such restaurants exist in the country.
