The Assam unit of the Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM), a group affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has called for a crackdown on illegal beef shops operating in Guwahati.
The convenor of the MRM’s Assam chapter, Alkas Hussain, has strongly urged for the voluntary shutdown of these establishments, citing concerns over their legality and potential impact on communal harmony.
Hussain highlighted several areas in Guwahati—Hatigaon, Panjabari, Satgaon, and Islampur—where these unauthorized beef shops are reportedly active. He has appealed to the Kamrup-Metro district administration to take decisive action against these illegal operations.
According to Hussain, these beef shops are in violation of local regulations and contribute to discord between the Hindu and Muslim communities in Assam.
He said that the continued existence of these shops could exacerbate tensions and undermine the peaceful coexistence that has traditionally characterized the region.
