1/n | LIQUOR SHOP BEDA 🚫
Flash protest by residents of ECC Road & Prithvi Layout, Whitefield against a proposed liquor shop in a residential neighbourhood.
Today, residents gathered in protest after serious concerns over how objections were handled by Excise Dept officials.

The protest followed a so-called public hearing (3 Jan 2026) where the Excise Dy Superintendent (Sub-Division 10) allegedly brought in non-residents to intimidate and drown out the voices of actual residents.
Residents describe the hearing as a sham:
• Aggressive, menacing behaviour by hired crowd
• Attempts to browbeat and silence locals
• Genuine objections ignored

The mahazar report prepared by Sri Basavaraj Kanmani DySp Excise contains multiple irregularities:
❌ Area falsely termed “commercial” (Area is completely residential, with a few grocery shops and bakery)
❌ Temple within 60m dismissed as “unregistered”
❌ School within 150m misrepresented
❌ School parking abuts shop location
More ignored facts:
• Thousands of children & families use this road daily
• Temple, school & grocery access via same stretch
• All adjacent buildings are purely residential
These realities were completely overlooked.
Even more alarming:
⚠️ Reports of threats to the temple priest
⚠️ Clear signs of collusion between excise officials & the liquor shop applicant
Residents refuse to be intimidated.
Residents of ECC Road & Prithvi Layout have resolved to fight this legally, civically, and publicly.
Every available avenue will be used to protect our neighbourhood, children, and peace.
DEN OF VIOLATIONS 🛑
The proposed liquor shop building itself is illegal:
• No valid trade license possible
• No legal water, power or sewage connections possible
• Road width < 40 ft → commercial use prohibited
• Shop planned in the parking area of the building plan
