Punjab's government has banned the sale of non-vegetarian food, liquor, and tobacco in Amritsar's Walled City, designating it a holy city to preserve spiritual heritage. Tourism advisor Deepak Bali defended the move, citing reverence for Guru Ramdas Sahib and suggesting affected vendors could find work elsewhere. The decision, now formalized as law, aims to uphold the city's sanctity, though it impacts approximately 150 shops.
