Amul Invites Pubs Affected By Highway Liquor Ban To Open Milk Bars Instead

The highway liquor ban is set to affect thousands of bars and liquor shops.

New Delhi: India's highway liquor ban will prohibit the sale of alcohol along highways in a bid to reduce drunk driving. Besides loss of revenue, the move is estimated to affect a million jobs and thousands of liquor shops and bars. Now, in an endearing tweet, the Managing Director of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (Amul) - India's largest dairy cooperative - has invited the 16,000 affected liquor shops to open milk bars instead.
