Bengaluru, March 3: The bill banning slaughtering of cow in Maharashtra was received the President's assent on Monday. This means red-meat lovers in the state will have to do omit beef from their diet.

This measure was initiated during the previous Sena-BJP government in the mid-1990s.The bill was first submitted to the President for approval on January 30, 1996. But subsequent governments at the Centre, including the BJP-led NDA stalled it and did not seek the President's consent.

Here are various Twitter reactions over the decision:

In Maharashtra, all chicken, goats and sheep are currently thinking - Why do gais have all the fun?#BeefBan

Im vegetarian, so this #BeefBan doesnt affect me personally. But freedom of choice is important, in a country where more than 30% eat beef!
