Sheikh Imran concerned over opening of liquor shop at Pantha Chowk

Srinagar, May 8 (KNS): Expressing strong resentment over opening of a liquor shop at Pantha Chowk, JKPC Youth president Sheikh Imran registered a strong protest against such move, which are against the moral ethics of the socio-fabric of Kashmir which is known as Reshiwari. 

 
According to a statement, issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS), Imran said that some elements in administration are hell-bent to vitiate the true fabric and attempt to draw young generations towards drug addiction against whom we will strongly fight and expose their dual faces. 
 
He said that such kind of shops near prominent educational institutions like D P S Srinagar is a cause of concern for society and they can cause dangerous effects on the minds of a younger generation and even lead to the devastation of their future. 
 
He added that instead of providing sports and employment opportunities to the youth, government seems to divert them into drugs and it is a clear attempt to change the peaceful area into a village of alcohol. 
 
Imran said that instead of providing better medicare facilities and upgraded education, Government is providing liquor shops without any demand.
 
“We will not allow these shops to open as it will destroy our generation,” he said and demanded that Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha should intervene into the matter and direct the concerned department to cancel these shops. 
 
He further said that if the public demand is not conceded he along with all sections of society will intensify their protest against such moves. (KNS)
