The order says liquor shops within a 500-metre radius of Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Sthal and Sachkhand Sri Harmandir Sahib (Sri Darbar Sahib) must close during the specified period. It also covers shops selling cigarettes, tobacco and other intoxicants, and shops selling eggs and meat along the routes of the Nagar Kirtan scheduled for 26 October.
The notice links 26 October to Bhagwan Valmiki Ji’s Pragat Diwas and 27 October to the Prakash Gurpurab of Sahib Sri Guru Ramdas Ji Maharaj. Traders and visitors should consult the district administration’s order for the exact locations and conditions.
