NASHIK, Dec 22: The liquor bar belonging to Shiv Sena corporator from the CIDCO area, Mama Thakre may be shifted following an agitation spearheaded by a Bharatiya Janata Party corporator Dr Aruna More and the arson last week.Thakre told a delegation of agitators on Monday evening that he would consider shifting the bar, which would be shut till then.
The bar `Shivam', was opened about six months ago, inviting the wrath of local residents, who under the leadership of Dr More demaned its closure on the ground that its patrons were a nuisance to local residents, especially women and children. A memorandum signed by local women was submitted to the district collector, who ordered the bar's closure in August. However, Thakre moved court, which ruled in his favour.
