Rajasthan government plan to rename Mt Abu, ban booze and non-veg, sparks protests
Mount Abu, Rajasthan's only hill station, faces a potential name change to ‘Abu Raj Tirth,' sparking widespread protests. Twenty-three organizations voiced strong opposition, fearing a shift from a tourist destination to a religious pilgrimage site. The controversy arose after a government letter requested input on the renaming, referencing earlier discussions from the Chief Minister's Office. Concerns are mounting that the name change, coupled with proposed restrictions on meat and alcohol consumption, could deter tourists and harm the local economy.
