locals meet SDM in protest against CMl, IMFl vends
Dehradun: While continuing with their protest against the opening of Country Made liquor (CMl) and Indian Made Foreign liquor (IMFl) vends at Ajitnagar in Vikasnagar, the local residents have met the Vikasnagar sub-divisional magistrate and submitted a memorandum addressed to the Governor on Tuesday. The protesters shouted slogans against the state government for allowing liquor shops to open in the Ajitnagar area after they reached the Tehsil. They warned that they would intensify their stir unless both the liquor shops which are near a temple and a school are closed.
Sandeep Dubey, one of the protesters, said that on the direction of the local BJP leaders, FIR is being lodged against the owners of such shops in the police station.
“We have been demonstrating while demanding the closure of such shops for many days. However, it is having no effect,” he added.
