NO BAR ON BARS AND LIQUOR SHOPS!

New Delhi: Restrictions, night curfew, weekend curfew, etc. have been imposed in all the states of the country amid the threat of the new Coronavirus variant -Omicron- and the increasing cases of both Delta and Omicron.

Schools and colleges have been closed and gym and sports facilities have also been closed. In Delhi, a provision has been made to open shops from using the ‘tested’ odd-even formula.

But surprisingly, no state has thought of closing liquor and bars etc. Schools and colleges were first closed as soon as Corona came and if anything has been affected more than other sectors in the two years of Corona pandemic, it is education.

This time too, as soon as Corona spread, the schools and colleges were first locked. But the liquor shops were not closed. Keep in mind that even in the earlier waves of Corona, governments had ensured the sale of liquor.

Shops were kept open as long as possible and when this was not possible, online sales were started and Governments ensured doorto-door delivery of liquor.

What else can be expected when the education departments of the governments are running from the revenue generated from the sale of liquor.
