Andhra Pradesh In High Spirits Despite Protests

[mahesh1]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]The ongoing Samaikyandhra agitation may have taken a toll on other businesses, but not liquor sales in the Seemandhra region in the last 40 days, since the agitation began on July 30. The Andhra Pradesh Beverage Corporation Limited (APBCL) is yet to release the official figures for August, but sources in the state-run wholesale vendor point out that sale of liquor was normal in Seemandhra districts. It even recorded a 10% growth at many places.[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]As against the average monthly volume of Rs 1,600 crore, the APBCL collected over Rs 1,700 crore in the month of August. The agitation began in nine coastal Andhra and four Rayalaseema districts soon after the Congress Working Committee had decided to go ahead with the bifurcation of the state on July 30.[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]An official in the excise department said liquor sales remained unaffected because agitators were calling for bandhs and road blockades during daytime, leaving the peak business hours in the evenings normal. "The agitation is by and large peaceful and mostly held during day time. There is no instance of the police clamping curfew or prohibitory orders. This is the main reason why liquor sales are not affected," said an excise superintendent.[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]He said the APBCL and the excise department had taken some preventive measures keeping the ongoing agitation in mind and the stocks were being issued to retail dealers only in the evenings so that there should not any disturbance at the counter or godown during transportation.[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]"Dealers have been informed to lift the stock only in the evenings and this has been helping us," said D Venkateswar Rao, president of Twin Cities' Wine Dealers Association. "So for, there is no law and order problem because of the agitation, and hence there is no negative impact on the business."[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Traditionally, Telangana region is a beer guzzler, while the IML (Indian Made Foreign Liquor) is the Seemandhra favourite. And in the month of August, over 35 lakh cases of beer and 47 lakh cases of IML were sold across the state. The total sale volume was Rs 1,675 crore. The corresponding figures for the same month last year were 32.83 lakh cases of beer and 44.41 lakh cases of IML.[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Interestingly, liquor sale in Hyderabad, where Samaikyandhra heat is relatively low, recorded a marginal decline of 5%, while Seemandhra region showed a growth of 10% in the month of August.[/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Jyothi Kiran, excise superintendent of Hyderabad, attributed this to the decline in the floating population in the city during agitation. "Though the city is calm, the agitation has restricted movement of floating population. As there was a fall in visitors to Hyderabad in August, we noticed a slight negative growth in liquor sales in the city," said Jyothi Kiran.[/font][/color]
