| Move employees from Jammu facing 'food crisis' in hotels during Navratras | | After beef controversy, concerned about quality of non veg served | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 16: Even as the beef controversy is yet to settle down, Darbar Move employees from Jammu region belonging to a particular community are faced with a sort of 'food crisis' that gets aggravated during the Navratra festival. Thousands of employees staying in hotels in Srinagar get huddled up in groups these days to cook pure vegetarian food for themselves as they are uncomfortable with the food served along with non vegetarian dishes to others. In the normal course too, the eruption of beef controversy has turned them apprehensive of the non vegetarian food being served to them twice a week.
Sources said a sizable number of employees from Jammu who are staying in various hotels in Srinagar prefer to cook food themselves or take recourse to pure vegetarian restaurants during ongoing Navratras as they are not comfortable with the way food is served to them in the hotels where they stay as it comes more often than not with non vegetarian items the sight of which is even prohibited during these pious days, not to speak of consuming it. The employees sources said are already harried on one more front on which they have contested with concerned people many times . It is the issue of the way the mutton has been slaughtered about the non vegetarian food that is being given to them on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Even though some people take it without any resistance, there are many who ask this question as again this is something linked to religious sentiments, sources said, adding that the concerned authorities in the business as also at the official level they have pleaded on this issue have not paid any heed. In Kashmir it is taken as for granted that the non vegetarian food served anywhere is 'halal' . On the contrary, these employees belonging to non Muslim communities are bothered about this fact as they feel this is prohibited in their religion. It is in the backdrop of some court directions that have come in various parts of the country that it was illegal to feed the people the food which is banned or prohibited in their religion that these employees sought the interference of concerned authorities but to no avail, sources said. However, these worries aside, the employees are now bothered not much about the variety of non veg food in terms of the way of its slaughtering but more about the quality of non veg food that is being served in the hotels, sources said, adding that though these apprehensions may be unfounded but the apprehensions make them uneasy. |
