Delhi Liquor Shops Ordered to Close Early Amid Student Protests Over NEET
Delhi authorities have ordered liquor shops to close by 8 pm from Friday to Sunday amid ongoing student protests at Jantar Mantar led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). The early closure aims to maintain public order following police intelligence about potential disruptions by anti-social elements during protests against the NEET paper leak, which has led to student suicides. The protests have included a violent Parliament March on July 20, with demands for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
