It apparently looks so not at all. Who has granted the permission to run this wine kiosk? Who is that influential one who has managed to run the wine kiosk on Nallah?
Whether the excise department aware about this wine kiosk? If yes, whether it can function. This is a million dollar question which begs answer? “JMC who otherwise takes action against the violators as well as against the vendors. But now, in the instant case they not taken any action. Rather they have maintained criminal silence coupled with not paying any heed reasons known best to them”, Swati, one of the commoner lambasted the JMC rued.

This is blatant encroachment of the state land and if this kiosk continue to run then you will find in the days to come that Wine kiosk will come on the state land without any fear of the law. First, of all JMC department can’t made allotment of the wine kiosk on state land. If they made then it is grave violation, he vociferously responded to the query of the scribe in question. To a query whether solely JMC responsible for this wine kiosk to run, Adv Rohit divulged that no ,even Excise department is also the authority in question to dealt with the wine and bar restaurants adding, before issuing the licenses of the wine excise department have to ascertained the locations of the wine shops where they have to come up. He cited an example of medicines also that as you know that when chemists and drugstore being opened they first of all ascertained where the shops to open and all other relevant details which are required.
