Back to back liquor contracts will be closed this week in Delhi. That is, dry day will remain. This is going to happen with Independence Day and Janmashtami. On August 15, contracts will be closed for Independence Day and Janmashtami on 16 August. Alcohol will not be sold for two consecutive days. August 15 is Friday and 16 August is Saturday. In Delhi, a crowd is seen outside the weekend in liquor contracts and restaurants. But this time, due to dry day, alcohol lovers will have to wait for the next week or keep stock in advance.
