More than 200 Jain monks are said to have protested demanding the ban on non-veg sales. With this, the administration imposed a ban on sales and said that the sale was illegal. Palitana is very sacred for the Jain community as there are many temples there.

The Jian community is a peaceful community and the community won't even eat onions. The community often fights against the killing of animals for festivals.
