MUMBAI: Amidst national lockdown, the sale of liquor has been granted by the government. The news provided a wave of happiness to many. And as the liquor shops started functioning, a large amount of crowd has been gathering to purchase the booze.
Videos and pictures of people going berserk to buy alcohol went viral on social media. While a section of people are happy, a major section of the society is worried about the consequences of the same.
