It's a triumph for veggie lovers, however awful for business for others. Anglers, for example, Nishit Mehru have needed to quit working totally.

"There are such a variety of individuals living in this city, and the dominant part of them are non-vegan," he says. "Preventing them from consuming a non-veggie lover eating regimen is an infringement of their rights. We have been existing in this city for quite a long time. It isn't right to all of a sudden put a boycott overall city now.
