Senior Congress Leader and Jeypore MLA Taraprasad Bahinipati on Tuesday requested the District Administration to close down Liquor shops and Bars across the district on the Ram Mandir Consecration Day.
On 22nd January 2024, Lord Ram’s Magnificent temple in Ayodhya will be consecrated and the Ram Lalla’s idol will be installed in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. As per sources, several related activities will take place across the Koraput district and people will remain immersed in religious fervour.
So Jeypore MLA Taraprasad Bahinipati requested the District Administration to close all the bars and liquor shops on January 22. Soon after Taraprasad requested the district administration, his archrival and former Jeypore MLA and BJD leader, Rabinarayan Nanda made a similar request to the District Administration.
I would like to request the District Administration to take steps to avoid any kind of untoward incident on that day. I would also like to request people to refrain from drinking alcohol and having non veg foods on that day. The district administration should take necessary steps in this regard, said Rabinarayan Nanda.
