Bengaluru bar owners protest against highway liquor ban
Over 500 bar owners and employees in Bengaluru carried out a silent march on Monday against the ban on the sale of liquor on highways, which reportedly affected livelihoods of 6,000 people. They also demanded amendments to Karnataka's Excise Act to allow pubs and bars to function 500 metres from highways, after Punjab and Himachal Pradesh governments did the same.
