Jewelry Stores Implement 'No Veil, No Entry' Rule Amid Rising Thefts

• Incidents in Bijnor and Gorakhpur, UP, involved gangs using hijabs to distract staff and steal items, prompting stricter security measures.
• Trade organizations, like in Mirzapur, are instructing jewelers to enforce clear identification for enhanced store security.
• The policy is already active in major UP cities including Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Noida, and Kanpur, with a campaign for "With Mask, No Entry" planned.
