The high court said it is concerned by the crowding of people in front of Bevco outlets in Kerala which is a violation of Covid protocols, as per TNN.?
Considering a case registered suo motu on based on a letter written by Justice Devan Ramachandran, a division bench of Chief Justice S Manikumar and Justice Shaji P Chaly said it cannot ignore such incidents and asked for an explanation from the state government.
On July 7, a contempt of court petition alleging non-implementation of an order of July 5, 2017, to prevent Bevco customers from forming long queues in public places came up for consideration before Justice Devan.?
In the order, the court had directed the government to provide basic facilities to the customers of Bevco and had said that making them stand in a queue in public is detestable.?
While scheduling an online hearing on Thursday, Justice Devan has directed the excise commissioner to be present.?
Recently, people were celebrating by bursting crackers in Tamil Nadu as liquor shops opened in Coimbatore.
Long lines are nothing new outside COVID shop but sadly even the pandemic has had no effect on this. No social distancing adds insult to injury.? ??
