Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath declared a dry day on January 9, emphasizing that no liquor will be sold on ‘Pran Pratishtha’ day. The day is considered a “national festival,” and January 22 will be a holiday for all educational institutions in the state.
2. Chhattisgarh:

3. Assam:
The Assam government decided to declare January 22 as a dry day to commemorate the Ram temple’s inauguration, as announced by Assam Tourism Minister Jayant Malla Barua.
Additionally, BJP legislator Ram Kadam has requested Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to impose a ban on the sale of liquor and meat in the state on the day of the Ram Mandir consecration ceremony. In a letter to Shinde, Kadam emphasized the auspiciousness of the day, comparing it to Diwali and suggesting a nationwide ban enforced by the central government.
As the nation anticipates this historic event, the implementation of liquor bans in multiple states reflects the collective respect for the cultural and religious significance associated with the Ram Mandir inauguration.
