Sushant lok A block, has a new cornerstone – big, brightly lit and bang on the main road. You can approach this from anywhere – right, left, center! No, I am not talking about a place of public interest. The structure is the new liquor store in the middle of the residential area of Sushant Lok A block.
The residents had demonstrated, protested, and did everything in their power to reverse the opening of this store. In Fact the DC had also visited the site and assured them, but to no avail.
The issue is; one this is in a residential area, two on the main road and the way authorities are bending backwards over providing it access from all sides, it is a safety hazard, leave aside the security hazard it will pose , by wont of its size and the adjoining sitting space, where clients sit and consume the liquor.
The shop has been provided an access from the main road, at one end, right after the IFFCO metro station crossing, so will disrupt the traffic on the road and on the other side, the traffic blockades have been removed, to ensure that anyone coming from the HUDA city side or even Galleria side can swerve and access the shop, from the main road. A big mistake that can lead to not only traffic jams, but also accidents, anytime. Officials obviously are unreasonably favoring the establishment whilst turning a blind eye to the common man.
