With the Delhi government announcing a week-long lockdown in the Nation capital starting from 10 pm tonight till the morning of April 26, long queues of people can be witnessed outside the liquor shops. People worried about their alcohol stock were seen rushing to the liquor stores as soon as the lockdown announcement was made.
In a viral video shared by news agency ANI, a woman at a liquor shop can be seen saying, “.……… injection won’t benefit, alcohol will…medicines won’t help me, a peg will…”
