The Information and Broadcasting ministry has banned the screening of a documentary film on beef eating practices, which was slated to be screened at the Jeevika Asia Livelihood Documentary Festival 2015. "The film was supposed to be screened on Saturday at the festival in New Delhi, but we were informed by the organisers that we would need a censor certificate," Atul Anand, one of the filmmakers, said. The film titled "Caste on the Menu Card" is about beef eating practices in Mumbai.

An official communicated to us verbally that the documentary might be harmful in political and religious ways. We were really keen on this film as it is about a livelihood issue, said Snigdha Verma, one of the festival organisers.The ministry had a problem with the mention of beef in the synopsis," Anand said.
