Liquor permits on health grounds up 58% in Gujarat in three years

Wednesday, 27 December 2023
Gujarat has seen a 58% increase in the number of liquor permit holders on health grounds in three years. The backlog of renewals has shrunk and new applications are being processed swiftly. Ahmedabad has the highest number of permit holders, followed by Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara, Jamnagar, and Gandhinagar. More people above 40 years of age are applying for liquor health permits due to increasing incidences of insomnia, anxiety, and hypertension. Sales of liquor have increased by at least 20% in 2023 compared to last year, with a rise in visitor permits and a preference for vodka and white rum.

Aditya Thackeray slams BJP-Shinde govt over Funds Misuse and Campaign Manipulation| WATCH

Aditya Thackeray accused the BJP-Shinde government of misusing public funds, including spending ₹74 crore on painting Metro walls instead of addressing critical issues like farmers' welfare, roads, pensions, and healthcare. He alleged that 90,000 workers from Gujarat have been brought in to manipulate Maharashtra elections, turning it into a battle for Gujarat rather than Maharashtra. Promising strict action against corruption and wrongdoing, Thackeray urged voters to back Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) for the state's better future. #AdityaThackeray #MVA #MaharashtraElections2024 #BJPShindeGovt #FarmersWelfare #MetroWallControversy #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~HT.318~ED.101~PR.362~GR.344~
