A recently opened liquor vend in Jagadhri’s Durga Garden has sparked a significant public outcry, with residents demanding its immediate closure. The location of the vend, situated within close proximity to residential areas and a park frequented by families, is the primary source of contention.
Concerns raised by residents include increased noise pollution, potential safety hazards, and the negative impact on the overall atmosphere of the neighborhood. They argue that the presence of the liquor vend undermines the peaceful and family-friendly nature of Durga Garden, threatening the well-being of children and the community as a whole.
Local residents have organized protests and initiated a petition calling for the authorities to intervene and revoke the license of the liquor vend. They believe the placement demonstrates a lack of consideration for the community’s needs and preferences. The situation remains tense, with residents determined to see the liquor vend permanently removed.
This incident highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the responsible placement of liquor establishments and the importance of community consultation in such decisions. The outcome of the residents’ protests will be closely watched, and could set a precedent for future licensing considerations in similar situations.
