Ujjain shop owners told to display names, contact numbers: not targeting Muslims, says mayor

The Ujjain Municipal Corporation mandates shopkeepers to display names and mobile numbers for safety, following the MP Shop Establishment Act. Mayor Tatwal stresses no targeting Muslims. Ujjain, with Mahakal temple and CM Yadav, passed this in 2002. It parallels the Kanwar Yatra rule in UP. Violations face Rs 2,000 fines and opposition criticism.
