Here is a classic example of liquor businessmen doing things their own way. The residents of Doddagunte have been fighting for the eviction of a wine store that has become a nuisance for them, especially for the women of the area.
They have been running from pillar to post to convince the authorities concerned on the need to relocate Sri Balaji Wines. They complained that drunkards had been creating a nuisance at the entrance of Doddagunte where Sri Balaji Wines is located.
Disgusted with the nuisance of drunkards, Doddagunte Cox Town Residents’ Association appealed to MLA S Raghu to come to their rescue.
Raghu appealed to excise minister MP Renukacharya to do the needful. Responding to the letter from Raghu, Renukacharya directed the excise commissioner to take measures to shift Sri Balaji Wines.
The excise department asked excise inspector of Jeevan Bima Nagar to visit the spot and submit a report to deputy commissioner of excise. The report submitted by the excise inspector stated Sri Balaji Wines was situated just 20 metres away from Government Library, Vinayaka Temple and Narasimha Swamy Temple. It also stated that the residents had no peace and safety due to the wine store.
Based on the report, the deputy commissioner of excise department, Bangalore West, directed Gopalaiah, owner of Sri Balaji Wines, to explain why the wine store should not be shifted. Gopalaiah filed an appeal and the case is still pending in the court.
NS Ravi, president, Bharathinagar Residents’ Welfare Association, said “We will continue our fight till Sri Balaji Wines store is shifted to another place from the entrance of Doddagunte. It has become a nuisance for women and students. We hope the authorities concerned take measures to relocate this wine store as early as possible.”
