Drunkard Kerala A shame
Kochi: Keralites created a drinking record for themselves in the month of March just passed. In March, the Beverages Corporation (Bevco) sold liquor worth Ra.550 crores. This was the highest sales record in a single month in three decades history of the liquor monopoly. And, the drinkers in the State toasted Bevco on the two final days of the month by buying Rs. 52 crores worth of drinks.
The rise in sales on March 30-31 was in view of the shuttering of the Bevco shops on the first two days of April on the account of the first of the month closure and public holiday for Good Friday. By the unprecedented turnover in March, Bevco surpass its own projected sales and revenue figures for the year 2009-10 financial years.
GOD SAVE KERALA!!! BECAUSE IT IS GOD’S OWN COUNTRY
