The festival season is approaching in Delhi, and during this time the sale of liquor will be banned for several days. The Excise Department of the Delhi Government has released a detailed calendar in this regard, which clearly states on which days the liquor shops will remain closed.
It has become necessary for liquor lovers to make plans during these dry days, so that they are not deprived of enjoying their favorite drink.
Dry Days in the Month of October
There will be a total of four days in October when liquor shops will remain closed. It is important to understand the importance of these days:
1. 2 October – Mahatma Gandhi Jayanti
This day is celebrated as the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, who was a great leader of India’s freedom struggle. The sale of liquor has been banned due to celebrating this day as a national festival.
2. 12 October – Dussehra
Dussehra, which marks the killing of Ravana, is a major festival of Hinduism. On this day, people of the family and society gather, and its importance increases. Therefore, there will be no sale of liquor on this day.
3. 17 October – Valmiki Jayanti
The birth anniversary of Saint Valmiki, who is known in Indian literature as the author of ‘Ramayana’, this day will also be celebrated as a liquor ban.
4. 31 October – Diwali
Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an important festival in Hinduism. On this day, family members celebrate together, so the sale of alcohol will be banned on this day as well.
Dry days in the month of November
There will be two important dry days in November as well:
1. 15 November – Guru Nanak Jayanti
This day is celebrated as the birth anniversary of the first Guru of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev Ji. On this occasion, devotees perform special prayers and spread the message of unity in the society, so the sale of alcohol will be banned on this day as well.
2. 24 November – Guru Teg Bahadur Martyrdom Day
This day is dedicated to remembering the martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur, who was the ninth Guru of Sikhism. The sale of alcohol will be banned on this day as well.
Sale of alcohol continues in hotels
The sale of alcohol will continue in hotels with certain license holders in Delhi, such as L-15 and L-15F licenses. This means that if you are going to a big hotel or bar, you will be able to get alcohol even during these dry days. This rule is applicable only to hotels with a special license, and there will be no restriction on the sale of alcohol in such hotels.
Know the importance of festivals
The main reason behind these dry days is that the festival season holds social and religious significance. The Delhi government aims to ensure that people celebrate national festivals and major festivals together. This ban on the sale of alcohol promotes unity and harmony in the society, so that people can share happiness with their family and friends.
Thus, it is essential for liquor lovers to note down these dates carefully in their calendars. This festive period is not only important from a religious and cultural point of view, but it also gives a message of unity and brotherhood in our society. In this regard, spending time with your family and participating in various activities during these dry days can be a positive option. Realizing the lack of liquor sales in this festive season, people can engage in other recreational activities, which will give them a new feeling and enjoy the festivals to the fullest.
