A fresh tweet from Suhel Seth, well-known author, sums up quite a bit of what is happening on the ‘daaru ban’ front. Suhel tweets, “From Atithi Dev Bhavo to Atithi Dry Raho. Wah!” Exactly! So, now this could be the new welcome song that you can sing to your friends or relatives visiting you in Chandigarh. In fact, you can coin one for yourself, Ek glassy do glassy, tin glassy chaar….dasso kithey hai beer bar!
While you get creative on this front, how about taking out a moment to see how the Supreme Court’s order on banning liquor vends alongside national and state highway is coming through with the city hotel and restaurant owners, who have been affected by this new rule.
Supreme Court’s guideline against serving liquor near highways comes into effect on Saturday. The rule hits the hotel industry of the city badly, as majority of hotels and restaurants are situated alongside the NH 21 and the state highway, Madhya Marg. Also, the department will not renew licenses of over 35 hotels situated alongside roads falling within 500 metres of the highway to serve liquor from April 1.
Even though the Administration has decided to allow all liquor vends to continue till April 6, this sounds like a very low situation for hotels and restaurant owners.
