Delhi Liquor Shops to Shut at 8 pm Over The Weekend Amid Student Protests

The development comes as protesters continue to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak controversy.

According to Delhi government officials, the decision to reduce liquor shop timings was taken based on inputs from Delhi Police, which flagged the need for additional preventive measures to maintain law and order in the central Delhi area, reported PTI.

Officials said the temporary change in operating hours is aimed at preventing any untoward incidents during the protest period.
