Dharwad: Bars Closed Leaves Thirsty Booze Lovers  in a Bind

Hubballi: In the wake of the Ayodhya temple inauguration tomorrow, Dharwad’s booze lovers were hit with unexpected news – all bars shut down from 6 pm today (21 January) until 9 am on January 23, as ordered by the Deputy Commissioner. The lack of a heads-up has sent booze enthusiasts on a frantic mission to find their preferred tipples.

Curiosity is in the air, and folks are asking why the sudden sober stretch? Despite a hint of anticipation, the administration kept silent about the shutdown. As the city adapts to this impromptu dry spell, the streets are alive with tipplers searching for answers and, of course, a good drink.
