| It is my opinion that the Government must regulate Alchohol business in a permit system. That is all Adults according to their earnings may avail permit and draw drinks/brands of their choice from the regulated licenced shops only limiting the Quota per moth and use it at home only. No one sholuld be alloud to be found drunk outside say on streets, driving etc or at Public places.If drinks are to be served in functions it must be regulated with permits and limits of servings and and under no cicumstances fund drunk beyond permitted limits. there must be appropriate punishments of violations of regulations. This would enable the C.M. in his offer of opening bars to the Unempoloyed, who must be having sufficient qualification to mange and control the bars/ wine shops within the existing rules/Law.Then only the objective of the C.M. would be fulfilled and help serve Unemployment to certain extent. Critics will always be there on politica vendetta and it has to coolely ignored. | |
