The Ayodhya administration has banned the delivery of non-vegetarian food items within a 15-km radius of the Ram temple, and warned several homestays and hotels against serving non-veg food and alcoholic drinks to guests.

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has reviewed the situation and directed officials to provide all assistance to the passengers, crew, and authorities involved. Commerce and Transport Minister Bibhuti Bhusan Jena is also monitoring developments.

The Mamta Banerjee-led state government has also filed a caveat before the apex court in anticipation that the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) may approach the Supreme Court against alleged interference in its search operations.
