Wine merchants across the State have slammed the decision of the Chief Electoral Officer for directing shuttig down of wine stores and bars for two days from December 8 in the light of the elections to 25 seats of the Legislative Council on December 10.
In an order issued recently, establishments selling liquor were directed to shut operations from 4 p.m. on December 8 to the midnight of December 10.
The Federation of Wine Merchants and Association, Karnataka, has shot off a letter to the Chief Electoral Officer requesting not to close down liquor outlets given that the electorate is small, unlike in general elections.
