Liquor sale banned in parts of Bengaluru for St Mary’s feast
Bengaluru: In a bid to maintain law and order during the annual Jayanti Mahotsav of Arogya Mate at St Mary’s Basilica, the Bengaluru police have imposed a temporary ban on the sale of liquor in the Shivajinagar, Commercial Street, and Bharathinagar police station limits.
The prohibition order, issued by Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh, cited by Deccan Herald, will be in effect on Monday from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. The decision comes ahead of a chariot procession and various puja programmes that are expected to draw up to two lakh devotees.
The procession will start from St. Mary’s Basilica, proceeding through MK Street, Shivaji Road, and Broadway Road before returning to the church.
The ban aims to prevent any disruption caused by miscreants under the influence of alcohol. The order prohibits the sale of all types of liquor at bars, restaurants, wine shops, pubs, and MSIL outlets.
However, establishments holding CL-4 and CL-6A licenses, such as star hotels and clubs, have been exempted from the ban. Food services at restaurants and hotels will operate as usual.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
