Over 30 Liquor Shops Sealed in Pune Amid Election Code of Conduct

Over 30 liquor shops in Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, and surrounding areas have been sealed for violations of IMFL and Maharashtra country liquor rules. The move, ordered by the District Collector, aims to prevent liquor misuse during elections. While shop owners face financial losses and reputation damage, authorities stress the importance of compliance to ensure a fair polling process. Shops are expected to reopen post-elections on November 20.
