Good news for Delhi guzzlers: 2022 to only have 3 dry days as CM Kejriwal cut down list from 21 to 3

Delhi’s party calendar just got longer by a whole 18 days! The list of dry days in Delhi in 2022 has been slashed to just 3. It is reported that the state’s excise department has formally issued a notice under the new excise policy to this effect as per report.

List of dry days in Delhi in 2022:

Delhi will observe these three days as Dry Days:

  • 26 January, Wednesday (Republic Day)
  • 15 August, Monday (Independence Day)
  • 2 October, Sunday (Gandhi Jayanti)

Local administration can add on more dry days due to elections, but those are unlikely to be too many.

The order issued by the Excise department of the Delhi government stated:

“In pursuance of the provisions of Rule 52 of Delhi Excise Rules, 2010, it is hereby ordered that the following dates shall be observed as “Dry Day” in the National Capital Territory of Delhi by all the licensees of the Excise department and opium vends located in Delhi for the year 2022,” it stated, listing Republic Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti as the days when the sale of alcohol will not be permitted.

The restriction on sale of liquor on dry days will not apply to the service of alcohol to occupants in case of hotels having L-15 license, said the order.

Earlier, the dry days numbered 21 including the birth anniversary of great leaders and religious festivals.The business premises of a licensee will be kept closed on dry days.

The order said that apart from the above three dry days, the government may declare any other day in the year as ‘Dry Day’ from time to time.

The licensees will not be entitled to any compensation on account of any changes related to the number of ‘dry days’.

All the licensees will exhibit the ‘dry day’ order at some conspicuous place of their licensed premises, it said.
