Since Narendra Modi became prime minister in 2014, measures targeting meat consumption have increased in parts of the country, especially in northern India's Hindi-speaking states. Authorities in some places have occasionally issued rules discouraging or banning meat-based foods from schools, near places of worship and during religious festivals, among others. In India-administered Kashmir's Doda district, officials recently banned meat, seafood and eggs in all educational institutions, saying that it's needed to uphold "secular principles," maintain "social harmony" and avoid "discomfort" over dietary differences.
