Bengaluru: Sale of fish, meat and non-veg food prohibited in Yelahanka for nearly a month. Know why

Aero India 2025 airshow has prompted the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to impose a ban on non-vegetarian food sales near the air force station region, reported the news agency ANI, citing an official notice.

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) is the municipal corporation which governs the city of Bengaluru.

Aero India is the largest airshow in the country. It is set to be held in the second week of February. Ahead of the event, the municipal corporation announced that all meat stalls, hotels, restaurants; meat, fish, and chicken shops should be closed and prohibited from serving or selling non-veg dishes within a 13-kilometre radius of the location, effective January 23.

This measure has been taken as a safety precaution to avoid bird hits during the aircraft practice sessions. The move is expected to help keep birds of prey, particularly eagles, which feed on leftover food and meat waste, off the skies during the air show.
