'Government decision to spoil younger generation'

Dr Manju Agarwal, 47, Gomtinagar: Parents are worried about this decision of government. This step will spoil forthcoming generations. If the government is taking this step for revenue of only Rs 7-8 crore, then in the near future, it will pay more than Rs 10 crore to heal the consequences.
Pankaj Tewari, 38, Aliganj: This step should be condemned.
Nisha Gupta, 30, Gomtinagar: It is a wrong decision.
Reva Choudhary, 32, Indiranagar: It is a draconian act of government.
LP Pandey, 56, Indiranagar: This is a step to spoil younger generation.
Faizan Musanna, 30, Hardoi Road: Alcohol consumption is increasing among the young. If the administration also adds to this increase, then it will fulfill their wrong needs. However, I also think that open sale will be a curse for illegal trade and help create revenue for the government rather then black money.
Kiran Sahai, 25, Dalibagh: Any type of addiction is bad. I will not like to live in a country like this. Alcohol should be immediately banned.
Kamya, 23, Butler Palace: There is no difference between a smuggler and a government.
Alok Agarwal, 50: I strongly oppose this motion. It is not good for the welfare of younger generation.
KD Singh, 30, Vijayanagar: Excess use of alcohol is harmful and it is a pity that the government is promoting alcohol, instead of preventing it.
SP Pandey, 47, Alambagh: I have no problem with this decision. Now I can freely purchase wine without any hesitation.
Rohit Genai, 31, Rajendranagar: Open sale of beverages is very common in cities like Mumbai and Chennai. So nothing is wrong in open sale of beverages.
Manoj, 27, Bakshi Ka Talab: This decision will not corrupt young minds. There is no harm in low alcoholic drinks. It is a boost for the government.
Arvind Upadhaya, 26, Madhupuram: I strongly oppose the move. This is harmful for the society and nation. Government should not promote any type of addiction, whether alcohol or any type of gambling.
Dr V Vinayak, 53: This decision should be immediately condemned.
Raju Chandra, 43, Mahanagar: Nothing is wrong if percentage of alcohol is low. So it is a nice step of UP government to enhance revenue. All the medicines have alcohol content so what''s wrong with it.
MS Sethi, 74: The policy of the government is bad. Government should not take such a decision. It will completely spoil the society.
AK Trivedi, 35: With this move, government is going against Gandhiji''s policy of madya nished (complete ban on alcohol). Consuming alcohol is very harmful for anybody.
Rastogi, 30, Gokhle Marg: Alcohol is a terrible thing. This decision is a bad one as nothing has been done to tackle the consequences. We have many examples of persons who are victims of alcoholism. Many families have been spoilt due to this problem.
Mridula Sharma, 55, Gomtinagar: I strongly oppose the motion.
BC Agarwal, 53, Mahanagar: This should not be done in public.
SC Rastogi, 60, Indiranagar: I do not agree with the government''s decision. It is an attempt to spoil the younger generation. Such steps are harmful for the society.
HP Mishra, 75, Vikasnagar: In place of promoting alcoholic beverages, the government should promote any alternative drink like cane juice. This would be helpful for farmers also.
Wing Commander (retd) AK Bhattacharya, 63, Chandralok apartments: The people in the government are shameless. They only look for a seat of power. If I had the power, I would have shot each one of them.
Vikram Singh, 35, Krishnanagar: Alcoholism is a bad thing. Its sale and consumption should be immediately banned. This step will be harmful for the nation and society.
Ankur Sharma, 21: This step will increase alcoholism among the youth. And the alcohol habit in any form would be harmful for mental and physical health.
Sudheer Kumar, 28, Indiranagar: This decision will badly effect the health of boys. Now even school boys will have easy access of alcohol and this is harmful for them both physically and mentally.
CL Sethi, 56, Indiranagar: The step should be stopped immmediately and it should be condemned. For this, mass awareness is necessary. People should come forward to raise their voice against promotion of this social evil.
Aman, 29, Mall Avenue: Sale of beverages with low alcohol content should be promoted. It is a healthy and progressive decision. Government should make attempts to boost the sale of these things.
Sandeep Khare, 26, Kailashpuri: I do not favour this decision. This will impart wrong habit among the youth. It is a sort of cheating with the public as we have not elected these people for taking anti-social decisions.
Kusum, 16, Sarojininagar: It is a good decision. Now I can freely purchase it without any fear of being caught. Government shuold be praised of taking these decisions.
Preeti Srivastava, 36, Viramkhand: This move is not correct. It will spoil our young ones because they are innocent and they do not know what is right or or what is wrong. It is the duty of elders to prevent them from making such mistakes. But if the government is promoting this, then all our steps will go in the drain.
Roli Sharma, 22, Vijayanagar: This move will give a boost to activities of hooligans and roadside romeos and cases of eve-teasing will increase. This step will be a great problem for girls.
Rashmi Gangwar, 43, Indiranagar: This decision will aid various rowdy elements. It will also create a bad impression on our future generation.
Kopal Agarwal, 21, Indiranagar: This decision should be immediately withdrawn. Such actions by the government are immature. Boys speciallly hooligans will have a good oppoutunity to tease and harass girls. And we might have problems in going out of the house, because of this step of government.
Seema, 22, Indiranagar: Being a girl it would be a great problem to face drunkard hooligans. Mayawati is also a woman, but she is not thinking about the welfare of women. Instead she is creating hurdles for them. Such Illogical steps should not be taken.
Archana, 19, LDA colony: Open sale of beverages will definitely increase cases of eve-teasing and other women-related crime. So in my opinion there shuold be a complete ban on sale of any type of alcoholic drinks.
Pankaj Jaiswal, 26, Gomtinagar: This is a welcome step. There is no harm in low content alcoholic beverages. This will definitely increase the revenue of the state.
Anil Kumar, 30, Alambagh: This is a good decision. Basically, using or not using any thing is totally a personal perception. Can government prevent habit of smoking among the young. So nothing should be imposed forcefully. So government''s decision is a welcome decision.
Vimarsh Kumar, 17, Gomtinagar: The government is jeopardising the future of young generation. Such steps will be harmful for both boys and girls.
Anju, 16, Gomtinagar: Voice should be raised against these social evil promoting activities. Such steps will energise hooligans and rowdy elements.
SP Goyal, 71, Balda Colony: I strongly protest this move of UP government as such step is harmful for both younger and older generation. This activity is a step to make the public alcoholic.
Karunesh Agarwal, 36, Suryadaya Colony: I am strictly opposed of such move. This step is not good for the younger generation. And easy availability of alcohol will definitely spoil their future.
Dr Kavita, 37: This will increase cases of crime and will definitely increase the number of criminals.
Dr Kumkum Malviya, 33, Vijayanagar: This move is against women. Government should not take such decisions. The outcome of this move will definitely aid the vicious plans of hooligans .
Vickey, 17, Gomtinagar: Slowly and slowly the government is taking some positive steps to increase the revenue of the state. Such steps should be welcomed by the media and public.
JN Srivastava, 73, Kundri Rakabganj: The UP government is trying to turn the young into alcoholics. This will definitely create a bad impression on this innocent generation.
Pratima Chatterjee, 60, New Hyderabad Colony: This decision ofb the government will be a great problem specially for women. Till now, we are preventing our husbands from not taking alcohol. But if such beverages are made cheaper, then it would be difficult for us to prevent our children, both boys and girls from consuming alcohol.
Aditya P Bahadur, 40, Aminabad: It is nice to see Timesline. I hope that it comes daily. There is no secret that governments/parties loss their votes because of ''nasbandi'' and ''nashabandi''. Basically alcoholic drinks are pure. But they should not be adulterated. Drinks should be made safe. This step should be taken with a proper license. I strongly protest such decisions without take thinking of the outcome.
Nitu Srivastava, 22, Nakkhas: This step will definitely help plans of hooligans and rowdy elements.
