Dharna against opening of liquor vend in Chander Nagar

This year,the excise department has chosen many locations where no liquor vend was existing earlier. The proposal is to open one liquor vend on the national highway,one on the Ferozepur road near Park Plaza hotel,and one on Mall Road — all these roads have no liquor vends. The department has chosen these locations to show presence of vends everywhere.

While liquor vends are already located in Haibowal,another one was opening near Chander Nagar puli located near by.

After staging their dharna,the residents went to meet assistant excise and taxation commissioner Jaskaran Brar,in whose office the contractor was also called. The residents urged for a change in the location of the vend,but no decision was taken.
