(s)HAPPY (p)ONAM



sHAPPY malayalis resting after earnestly contributing to the state's exchequer. High highness King Maveli will be proud of these patriotic souls.
During the Onam season this year, from 10th to 13th of September, the sale of alcohol by the BevCo (the government monopoly selling alcohol in retail in Kerala) recorded significant increase in the sale of alcohol. This has been a consistent trend. In Calicut district alone, compared to the corresponding period last year, they had excess sale of Rs. 75 lakhs. The total sale during these 4 days was for Rs 6 crores in Calicut district alone!
A very Happy Onam indeed !
