Even with the loopholes, some families get benefited. Might be a very small step, but better than nothing. On a second thought there is point in what Ravi mentioned.

If this move has curbed atleast a few daily wage workers in heading to the liquor store on 1st of the month, I think its a success. The backdoor sales is a different story which the govt. will have to deal with separately. But just because there is a loophole, should the intention of the original move be blamed? I am not against drinking but the daily wages workers' story is different. They seem to shell out all the earning on liquor (for whatever reasons) and leave their family in the dark.

As they think it will lead to losing votes (that of people who work in this field - as employee etc) , they will never do it. The dry day is just a gimmick and nothing much.

I really wish that the government takes more stringent steps to curb this liquor menace! They shouls focus on the execution of the laws they make and not just implement them and consider thier job done! quite an eye-opener!!
