Glenary's Faces 3-Month Liquor Ban

Glenary's Faces 3-Month Liquor Ban

Glenary's is a famous restaurant in Darjeeling that has been owned by Ajoy Edwards' family for over 50 years.

The restaurant has been told it can't serve alcohol for the next three months.

This is because officials found some problems.

They saw that the restaurant was storing liquor in the wrong places and didn't have the right papers for a live band.

The restaurant also didn't keep its accounts properly.

The officials started looking into these issues in November.

Glenary's has a bar on the ground floor, a bakery on the first floor, and a restaurant that serves alcohol on the top floor.

Ajoy Edwards is a leader in the area and heads a political party called the Indian Gorkha Janshakti Front.
