The Delhi High Court on Monday asked the AAP government's Delhi Agricultural Marketing Board (DAMB) to explain what action it has taken for compliance of its order banning slaughtering of birds in the Ghazipur murga mandi here.

A bench of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V K Rao directed the DAMB to file an affidavit stating the action taken by it and listed the matter for the end of November.

When the counsel for traders at the mandi said their livelihood was affected due to the ban, the bench said, "You claim for damages from the mandi or go somewhere else. Unless they comply with the provisions, we will not permit it."
