In Chandigarh, the liquor ban serving within 500 meters on national as well as state highways comes to an end. The Supreme Court dismissed the PIL aligned with Chandigarh highways and clarifying its December 2016 order on liquor ban in 500 meters of the state as well as national highways. Supreme Court clarified that the ban was intended at reducing the sale of liquor in the proximity of highways that link towns, cities, and villages. “The order does not ban the sale of liquor by licensed establishments in municipal areas”.
The court order was to execute after 42 days of its conclusion, which finishes today and bars, pubs, restaurants inside the municipal limits of Chandigarh, whether they are on national or state highways before district roads unlock and initiate their business ‘as usual’.
The liquor ban rationing on state and national highways had sternly smacked the hospitality business. Spaced out from Ministry of Bar Exchange, many more hotels, as well as breweries which positioned in Sector 26 Chandigarh and Zirakpur, have moved to different places. Many bars and pubs in Chandigarh which includes Brew Estate in Sector 35, 10 downing street and S lounge was closed down as SC declined to relax highway liquor ban in April 2017 . However, Chandigarh administration denotified numerous of its roads as locality roads, Sector 26, as well as Sector 35, the center of social butterflies in and about the UT, could not be kept away of its purview. Below are some Bars and pubs in which serving liquor had been started:
