Jagran Manch to launch crusade against liquor Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, Nov 4: Nari Jagran Manch, a social organisation working for upliftment of women has decided to launch a crusade against the proliferation of liquor in Jammu. The Manch has taken a serious exception of the State Government’s policy to grant license for opening of more wine shops and bars in the Jammu City to destroy its social fabric. Disclosing this to mediapersons here today, the Manch president Ms Sneh Bali alongwith Mrs Raj Kaila, its city president and Mrs S K Bali, senior member said the organisation will fight against the Government’s policy tooth and nail and will not allow the Jammu youth to fall a prey of alcoholism and drug abuse. Ms Bali expressed apprehension that the day will not be far away when the City of Temples for which Jammu is famous throughout the world will be converted into the ‘City of Liquor’ if the pace, at which the National Conference (NC) Government is issuing the new licenses for opening of wine shops and bars continues. In an appeal to State Government the Manch demanded that all the fresh licenses be cancelled immediately. It also demanded that the shops lying adjacent to religious places and schools be immediately shifted 500 meters away as provided in 1984 Excise Act. Mrs Kaila said opening of liquor shops in Raghunath Bazar, Ghumat, Hari Market and Ranbir Market will send a wrong signal in the country as the area is being visited by hundreds of devotees of the holy Shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi. It will also hurt the religious sentiments of the people, she added. She said the Manch has launched a signature campaign already to mobilise public opinion against the Government’s policy and these signatures will be placed before the Chief Minister, Dr Farooq Abdullah. The Manch, she said will also appeal the social and religious organisations seeking their support in its crusade against this social evil. She said Jammu has proportionately more wine shops than Delhi at present and large number of people are already addicted to drinking. She alleged that Government’s policy of issuing more licenses is aimed at perishing the society. She said alcoholism has already spoiled many families and in case the menace is not checked the entire society will be destroyed. Mrs S K Bali said in case their pleas fail to yield the tangible results the Manch will take recourse to agitational steps by resorting to demonstrations and hunger strikes. To maintain the sanctity of famous Raghunath Temple, Mrs Bali demanded immediate ban on wine and mutton shops in its vicinity.
