Television celebs request government to shut down liquor shops with immediate effect
Months after government decided to allow liquor shops to resume operations prominent television celebs took to social media and requested officials to shut the liquor shops. Forty days after shops were reopened commotion erupted outside as people flouted social distancing rules. Karan Wahi took to Twitter and shared, “It’s a request to the Govt to please shut these liquor shops as it’s reallly dangerous for people and specially for the cops monitoring them. If need be, home delivery services can be started but this would be really bad. @CMOMaharashtra please.”
Comedian Kapil Sharma totally condoned the act and shared a picture of crowded line in front of a shop. He wrote, “Ye lo social distancing ki aisi ki taisi. Bewakuf log, sharab se hi, corona se marenge yeh.” Actor Rohit Roy also expressed his concern over the situation as he wrote, “Shocked at the way people are roaming the streets looking for alcohol .. THIS is the reason why relaxation in lockdown won’t work in India .. senseless and stupid ..” Meanwhile micro-blogging sites memes, jokes, and visuals of long queues emerged. It is reported that a sale of almost 50 crore was reported on alcohol sales on Day 1 in Karnataka.
