In this context, Shiv Sena leaders also conducted door to door campaign in Udhampur asking public to be a part of this movement.
Led by Sanjeev Sharma, District President, Udhampur, the Shiv Sainiks demonstrated holding placards with slogans urging the Lieutenant Governor to implement prohibition in J&K.
Talking to reporters, Sanjeev said that the land of temples will not be allowed to become the land of liquor.
Alleging that liquor shops have been opened here and there, he said that liquor is not only becoming a way to destroy the generations, but along with ruining the economy of the people, it is also hurting the religious beliefs of most of the people of the UT.
Sanjeev said that the campaign launched by Shiv Sena to make the holy land of temples, Gurus, sages and Pir-prophets alcohol-free is getting a lot of support from the public and he is confident that the Government will be forced to implement prohibition of liquor in Jammu and Kashmir.
