Sale of liquor in all wine stores, restaurants, taverns and bars would be prohibited country wide during the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, which falls on April 13th and 14th, the Excise Department announced today.

Excise Spokesman Superintendent Prabath Jayawickrama said all licensed liquor selling places had been notified and strict action would be taken against those who violated this law.

Meanwhile, a series of monitoring and detection programmes are scheduled to be carried out during this period to nab errant traders. (Kurulu Koojana Kariyakarawana)

Here we go again. Whatever they are planning to achieve is not going to succeed by banning the sale of liquor. It will only make people drink more by purchasing them in advance.
