Dry Day, No Meat Day in Hyderabad

Friday, August 15, marks Indian Independence Day, and Hyderabad is preparing for vibrant celebrations in the colours of the tiranga, the national flag. However, those who enjoy a drink will have to stay alcohol-free as liquor and wine shops will be shut across the city.

This time, bars, pubs, and restaurants serving alcohol will also remain closed. The state government is organising grand Independence Day events, and the closure of such establishments is seen as a preventive step to avoid any untoward incidents. The dry day will also be observed in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and other major cities.
