Colony residents state that the operation of a liquor shop near the temple, school, and densely populated residential area is causing significant problems for local residents.

Residents demanded that the Rajasthan government and the Excise Department take concrete steps in the public interest and relocate the liquor shop from its current location to a suitable place, keeping in mind the problems and public sentiment of the local residents.
Organizers stated that the program was conducted peacefully and with religious sentiment. Its purpose is to draw the administration's attention to maintaining peace, security, and a religious environment in the area. At the end of the program, all residents reiterated their demand and appealed to the administration for prompt positive action.
