Liquor Sales Banned During Jubilee Hills Bypoll
In Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, a special election is happening, and the police want to keep things peaceful.
To do this, they've put a ban on selling or serving alcohol in all the usual places like liquor stores, hotels, and restaurants.
This ban will be in effect during two time periods around the election voting and counting.
Additionally, all political campaigning is also stopped during a specific 'silence period' leading up to the voting.
The only campaigning allowed is very small groups going door-to-door.
These rules are meant to help make sure the election process goes smoothly and without any trouble.
Hyderabad Police have ordered the closure of all liquor shops and establishments selling liquor within the Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency for the upcoming byelection.
The liquor sales ban is in effect from 6 PM on November 9 to 6 PM on November 11, and again from 6 AM on November 14 for 24 hours.
This ban includes hotels, restaurants, clubs, non-proprietary clubs, star hotels, and any licensed liquor seller.
All types of campaigning activity are prohibited during the silence period, which lasts until the end of polling on November 11.
