After India's apex court announced a ban on liquor sales along the country's national highways, vendors, restaurateurs and citizens are outraged. 。
The move aimed at reducing drunk driving incidents will likely result in the loss of a million jobs as well as make significant dents in the food and beverage industry. 。

The petition requires 7,500 signatures for it to be heard by the president of India. It had earned over 6,150 signs at the time of writing. 。
Thanks for signing up!

as saying: "Since the intention of this move is to curb drunken driving, restaurants never encouraged that. We don't even allow people to carry liquor outside from the restaurant." 。
Kalra is the owner of Massive Restaurants which runs the popular Indian fusion cuisine chain, Farzi Cafe. "There is a lot of investment and hard work that goes into running a restaurant... Many employees in the sector elsewhere will lose their jobs, and not just in NCR, but also cities like Mumbai," he added. 。
