Beef disappearing from Bengal markets amid BJP influence, forcing dietary shifts

Beef consumption and trade in West Bengal are facing significant challenges as political pressure mounts in the state. The availability of beef in markets has declined noticeably, prompting changes in dietary habits among residents who traditionally consumed it.

The situation reflects broader political dynamics in the region, where the BJP's influence has grown. Local vendors and consumers report reduced access to beef products, with some markets seeing diminished supply.

These changes are affecting not only dietary practices but also the livelihoods of those involved in the beef trade across the state.
