The Delhi government has announced that there will be four dry days in February 2025 due to the upcoming assembly elections. This means that all liquor shops, hotels, clubs, and restaurants will be closed for alcohol sales on these specific dates.
Dry Days Schedule
The Dry Days Are Set For:
February 3, 2025: Starting from 6 PM
February 4, 2025: All day
February 5, 2025: Until 6 PM (this is the voting day)
February 8, 2025: All day (this is the day when election results will be announced)
During these periods, no alcohol will be sold or served in any establishment across Delhi. This includes not just liquor shops but also hotels and restaurants that typically serve alcoholic beverages.
Reason For Dry Days
The government imposes dry days during elections to maintain order and prevent any disturbances that alcohol consumption might cause. This practice is common in many regions during significant electoral events. The aim is to ensure that voters can participate in the election process without any external influences.
Important Notes
If you plan to buy alcohol before these dates, make sure to do so before 6 PM on February 3.
The dry days are part of the Excise Rules-2010, which govern the sale and distribution of alcohol in Delhi.
This measure is intended to create a peaceful environment for voters as they head to the polls and ensure a smooth electoral process.
