The petition requires 7,500 signatures for it to be heard by the president of India. It had earned over 6,150 signs at the time of writing. 。
Thanks for signing up!

as saying: "Since the intention of this move is to curb drunken driving, restaurants never encouraged that. We don't even allow people to carry liquor outside from the restaurant." 。
Kalra is the owner of Massive Restaurants which runs the popular Indian fusion cuisine chain, Farzi Cafe. "There is a lot of investment and hard work that goes into running a restaurant... Many employees in the sector elsewhere will lose their jobs, and not just in NCR, but also cities like Mumbai," he added.。
