Telangana Liquor Sales Soar During Dasara Festival
During the Dasara festival, people in Telangana bought a lot of liquor.
In just two days, they spent over 400 crore rupees!
This happened because the next day was a 'dry day' when liquor sales were not allowed, so people stocked up.
Also, many people went back to their hometowns for the holiday and bought liquor there.
This year, more people bought expensive brands of liquor than before.
Liquor sales hit a record high during the Dasara festival.
Total sales for September 30 and October 1 reached Rs 419 crore.
Sales on September 30 were Rs 330 crore.
Sales on October 1 were Rs 86 crore.
A 'dry day' on October 2 contributed to the high sales.
