While asking entire population to be at home and be responsible, the governments of some states have opened the liquor shops today.
We can say that it is a historic throng at the wine shops. World's largest foreign liquor showroom TONIQUE in Bengaluru has made a whopping business of Rs 4 Crore in just one day. It's unbelievable but true.
Thousands of wine shops across many states have made lakhs and crores of business each.
The 41 day liquor starvation made the guzzlers run and buy 10s of bottles of their choice assuming that lockdown may continue and the shops may get closed again.
The sheep mentality of the people helped the economy a lot, but the health of lakhs of people is at risk now. The social distancing has totally gone to dogs as the desire to grab a bottle before the stock gets finished has dominated everything else.
Though the Ministry of Home Affairs released a detailed list of rules for wine shops to open, almost no citizen seems to have bothered much either for not withstanding the heat under the Sun standing in long queues or for mere restlessness in waiting.
Many in the government systems have now felt that they have had allowed door delivery system in the last 41 days.
The forced starvation has resulted in this mass hysteria for alcohol today. The CIABC (Confederation of Alcoholic Beverage Companies) had also written to several ministers and state heads to allow the online sale of liquor.
The opening of wine shops without anticipating any chaos proves to be the failure in the part of several state governments.
