Liquor shops will remain closed for 24 hours
Liquor shops in the state will remain closed for 24 hours. So that the counting of votes can happen peacefully. Many times, all party workers, including leaders’ representatives, hold liquor parties to celebrate the joy of victory and forget the sorrow of defeat. Due to this, there is a fear that the environment of the city will deteriorate. These orders are issued so that the atmosphere of the city does not get spoiled and also there is no dispute. To ensure that the counting of votes takes place in a peaceful manner in the state, a ban has been imposed on the sale of liquor.
However, no such order has been issued yet in Khandwa district. Now it remains to be seen when the order will be issued in Khandwa.
