The Gujarat government took a major decision on Tuesday. It has approved the sale of alcohol in hotels across the state. Following this decision, hotels in Gujarat will now offer alcohol—a stark change from the complete prohibition that was previously in place. The move will impact several cities, including Porbandar, the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi.
Gujarat has long enforced a total ban on alcohol, with the state government maintaining a strict stance on the matter. However, this time, the government has permitted the sale of alcohol under specific conditions. According to the government, the decision aims to boost tourism and improve facilities for visitors. The sale of alcohol will be allowed only in hotels that have applied for a special license and meet the conditions set by the government.
