The ruling Naga People’s Front today urged the Centre not to impose restrictions on the dietary habits of the people, a party statement said.

The appeal from NPF’s central executive council (CEC) came in the wake of a central government notification banning sale and purchase of cattle at animal markets for slaughter.

The NPF suggested the Nagaland government apprise the Centre that the culinary preferences of the Naga people, along with their social, traditional, religious or customary practices were not infringed upon by any unilateral decision of the central government, said the statement.
