Chandigarh not to open liquor shops during curfew

Chandigarh, April 7

The UT Administration has decided not to open liquor shops during the curfew.

“The decision was taken after consulting all, including government doctors,” tweeted UT Adviser Manoj Parida.

Earlier in the day, the Adviser took to micro-blogging site Twitter to seek suggestions on opening of liquor vends for a limited period during the lockdown in the city.

“One doctor has suggested allowing two-hour opening of liquor shops lest the addicts go for drugs or depression. Your views group?” Parida had tweeted.

However, a majority of Twitter users opposed the idea. — TNS
