Bengaluru, Jan 30: Chief minister Kumaraswamy said that it is not possible to ban alcohol all of a sudden.
Kumaraswamy was responding to the query with regards to the protest that is being staged in the city demanding the total ban of sale of liquor in the state. He further said, "We only had banned the sale of cheap liquor (Saarayi). However, we will discuss the pros and cons of complete ban on alcohol during the cabinet meeting. We will take suitable decision after discussing the same with ministers and concerned officials."
Thousands of women had started foot march from Chitradurga on January 19, demanding the banning of alcohol in the state. These people have reached the city on Tuesday, January 29, after walking for ten days. The women spent the night in bitter cold on Malleshwaram Grounds in the city. They are planning to block the Vidhana Soudha building. However, the police are making arrangements to stop near the Freedom Park itself.
