Point Blank 7 Get Involved, Stay Informed
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has banned the sale of meat in Mumbai for 4 days in view of the Jain fasting season. This news has definitely not gone down well with the Twitterati. While some took the comic route to vent their views, some fervently opposed the announcement. And some even trolled celebrities who came out in support of the ban such as Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor, who chose to label it as ‘misogynistic’ on Twitter!

Personally oppose bans in general.However,if the #meatban has been around for a while now,why hadn’t we heard a whimper in all these years?

Finding a way around
Things I learnt this morning: Mumbai’s 4-day #meatban doesn’t cover seafood. Apparently fish aren’t a voting bloc. — Tanvi Madan (@tanvi_madan) September 8, 2015
What has Mumbai come to?
Stop this talibinisation of Indian society. First beef ban, raid on hotels in mumbai, ban on advertisements. Where are we heading #meatban
