No person will be able to manufacture or stock any Halal certified product within the limits of UP. Not only this, now marketing and sale of Halal products has also been completely banned. Failure to do so may result in the culprit facing both jail and fine.
Recently, the state government was receiving information that Halal certification is being mentioned on the labels of products like dairy products, sugar, bakery products, peppermint oil, salty ready-to-eat beverages and edible oils. Not only this, it has also been reported that Halal certificate has been marked on the packing/labelling of certain medicines, medical devices and cosmetic products.
