Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law and Priyanka Gandhi’s husband, Robert Vadra, welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision to stop liquor stores coming under 500 meters of National and State Highways. On Facebook, Vadra wrote that this decision of the Supreme Court is worthy of respect and praise.
Vadra wrote that this would be a major step towards Road Safety. Due to being indifferent to the safety norms on the roads, my sister (she was only 33 years old) lost her unfortunate accident. I fully support the closure of the liquor sale with the highway. However, Vadra also mentioned the losses made by it. He wrote that this will have a bad effect on the hospitality industry and can affect about 1 million employees.
Robert Vadra further wrote that according to the media reports, some vendors are selling alcohol to dishonestly. It dashes the purpose of the order. This will increase corruption and black marketing of liquor. I hope that in order to apply in the future with some modifications, the loss of employment and industry can be prevented.
In the order of its December 15, the Supreme Court had prohibited liquor shops within 500 meters of both the National and State Highways. Although the Supreme Court gave complete exemption from Sikkim and Meghalaya restrictions, while the Himachal Pradesh has been put in the provision of a limit of 220 meters in the local bodies with 20,000 or less population attached to the highway.
