Delhi Woman Buying Alcohol Says, 'Injection Nahi, Alcohol Faayda Karega', Video Goes Viral

DELHI: As soon as the Delhi government announced a 6-day lockdown starting tonight, large queues were seen at several liquor stores in Delhi early today ignoring all the COVOD-19 protocols and social distancing.

According to reports, liquor shops at Khan Market, Connaught Place's Gole Market, and several other stores across the city faced a sudden rush as people raced to stock up on alcohol for the week.

Meanwhile, Delhi as always never fails to amaze the world, in such a bizarre statement by a woman liquor customer, she claimed that "alcohol is the only way to fight COVID-19 and not vaccine jabs".

A woman's comment outside a liquor shop in northeast Delhi's Shivpuri has gone viral and was slammed by many on social media.

"Injection won't do any good, alcohol will help. Medicines will not be able to help me, only a peg will help," the woman told a reporter in Hindi in a nearly one-minute-long video shared by news agency ANI.

"I have been drinking for the last 35 years, I have not taken any other dose ever. I drink one peg a day, that is my dose," the woman, whose face mask had slipped well below her nose, said with a smile.

However, the woman was slammed by Twitter for the bizarre comment.

Arvind Kejriwal's strict move came as Delhi became the worst-hit city in India with 25,500 fresh cases on Sunday. Almost one-third of those who tested returned positive. In the last 24 hours, the number of cases remained high despite a dip -- 23,500. Total cases in Delhi stand at over 8.5 lakhs.

The total number of cases now stands at over 1.5 crores; 1.78 lakh people have died so far. This is the fifth straight day that over 2 lakh cases were reported in the country.
