The Koraput district administration in Odisha on Sunday withdrew its order that had banned the sale of non-vegetarian food items on Republic Day, following widespread criticism from traders, locals, and political leaders. In a notification issued by the Collectorate, Collector Manoj Satyavan Mahajan revoked the January 23 directive that prohibited the sale of meat, chicken, fish, eggs, and other non-veg items on January 26. The withdrawal takes effect immediately.
