The UP government has said in its reply that the instructions issued by the state were made following complaints received from kanwariyas about confusion caused by the names of shops and eateries. On receiving such complaints, police officials had taken action to address the concerns of pilgrims and maintain law and order. The UP government has said that the state has not imposed any ban or prohibition on the trade or business of food vendors (except the ban on selling non-vegetarian food), and they are free to carry on their business as usual. The requirement to display the names and identities of the owners is merely an additional measure to ensure transparency and avoid any possible confusion among kanwariyas.
