Dry day is never dry


We all must have heard of "Dry Day" which literally stands for the closure of wine & beer shops on that particular day and sale of liquor is illegal. And to dishonour this law the licence holder of the outlet is considered as fallible and can be imposed with heavy penalty of fine and imprisonment and both.
But very often it is seen-drunkard-voyagers always hunt for the red-water, and their thirst further increases when its declared as a dry day. Their hunt ends when their thirst quenches, but the question is from where all the liquor is made available on Dry Day?
It is correctly speculated that the police has all the clues and knowledge about those people who sells the liquor in black market on higher rates than MRP. approximately on double or triple rates. Mostly these sellers belongs to slum areas and are generally known as "saansis". Most of them says that its their parental business to sell and manufacture the liquor no matter its legal or illegal. Despite of knowing this police doesn't take any action against this practice.
Corruption and greed for the money in law defence personals poses a great jeopardy to the laws made under the constitution of India, but unfortunately as a result-this evil practice of illegal selling of liquor is now a safer practice under the custody of those who are supposed to stop it. And when creator turns into destructor then there is no way out.
