PRAYAGRAJ, Aug. 15 -- The Allahabad high court on Friday dismissed a PIL challenging a direction by authorities in Amroha district asking chicken sellers not to open shops on the Kanwar Yatra route during Sawan. The petitioner demanded that the shops located in areas that don't fall within the Kanwar yatra route be permitted to remain open.

The petitioner claimed that a blank notice, purportedly signed by the in-charge inspector, Amroha Nagar police station has been served on the shopkeepers.
