Dry Days 

Delhi is a bustling metropolis with a vibrant culture and a diverse population. However, there are certain days of the year when the city observes dry days, during which the sale and consumption of alcohol are prohibited. These dry days are typically observed on important national and religious holidays such as Independence Day, Republic Day, Gandhi Jayanti, Holi, and Diwali. It is important for residents and visitors to be aware of these dry days to avoid any inconvenience or legal troubles. It is also recommended to plan ahead and stock up on any necessary supplies before the dry days to ensure a hassle-free experience.

The Delhi government had announced that it was returning to the previous practise of 21 dry days, which had been reduced to only three under the previous excise regime : January 26, August 25, and October 2. In Delhi, festivals and election days are marked by “dry days,” when the government bans the sale of alcohol. Most individuals do not anticipate or even tolerate dry days with any degree of enthusiasm.
