In Uttar Pradesh, liquor stores usually open from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. Those who are excited to celebrate New Year's Eve have embraced this extension of hours.
In addition to buying a lot of alcohol for get-togethers with friends, many individuals leave their houses to attend parties at hotels, restaurants, and other locations. The Excise Department apparently decided to expand business hours in part because of the substantial money it receives from this increased demand.

However, because some people decide to drive after drinking, there is also an increase in accidents around this time. A sizable police presence is put on the roadways during this period to handle this problem. Authorities strongly advise against drinking and driving and encourage everyone to celebrate sensibly.
