Shillong, Jan 25: In adherence to the powers vested under Section 52(1) of the Meghalaya Excise Act, which is an adoption of the Assam Excise Act, 1910, the Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills, Tura, has declared a ‘DRY DAY’ on Friday (January 26, 2024), in honor of Republic Day celebrations.

As per the official directive, all retail Wine Shops, encompassing those selling both IMFL/Bar/Canteen and Bonded Warehouses, are mandated to remain closed throughout the entire district of West Garo Hills on the specified date.

The Excise staff has been tasked with ensuring strict compliance with the imposed ‘DRY DAY,’ aiming to uphold a sense of sobriety and respect for the Republic Day occasion. This move aligns with similar practices observed across the country during significant national events.

As the nation prepares to celebrate its 75th Republic Day (Gantantra Diwas) on January 26, Friday, citizens are gearing up for a day filled with grandeur and enthusiasm. The occasion, which marks the adoption of the Constitution of India on January 26, 1950, holds historical significance. Despite gaining Independence in 1947, India officially became a sovereign state on this day, declaring itself a Republic. The celebrations traditionally feature a blend of spectacular military and cultural pageantry, reflecting the diversity and unity of the nation.”
