The Election Commission has enforced the closure of liquor businesses, including wine stores, bars, restaurants, and pubs, in preparation for the next Telangana Assembly elections on November 30, 2023.
These businesses will be closed beginning at 5 p.m. on November 28, only two days before voting begins, and will stay closed until voting concludes on November 30. Furthermore, they will be closed on the day of the election, which is slated for December 3.
The directive issued by the Election Commission aims to create a congenial and peaceful environment throughout the vital electoral process. This move is part of a larger plan to preserve law and order, security, and fairness throughout the election.
Furthermore, the authorities are anticipated to impose a 48-hour ban on the sale of booze and other narcotics within voting locations. This restriction period is critical in order to prevent any potential disruptions or disturbances caused by alcohol sales during the electoral process.
