The Supreme Court has issued an interim stay on the directive from the Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh governments requiring eateries along the Kanwariya Yatra route to display the names of their owners and staff. This directive, which the Uttar Pradesh government claims is an iteration of a 2006 order, has faced legal challenges. The Supreme Court has also issued notices to the respective state governments in response to petitions challenging the directive.
