The transfer comes after Lucknow police on Friday registered a case towards an organization and some different organisations for allegedly exploiting individuals’s non secular sentiments to spice up gross sales by offering cast halal certificates.
In line with a separate UP authorities decree, prescription drugs, medical devices, and beauty objects bearing halal-certified labelling would face authorized motion.
