Thirsty Kolkata queues up for liquor after 41-day

Hordes of people were out on the road even before daybreak on Monday. Within a couple of hours, there were serpentine queues at several places, bringing back memories of the rush for tickets of Amitabh Bachchan-starrer blockbusters in the ’80s. This time, however, the queues were in front of liquor shops, which had opened after a gap of 41 days. Just like cops had to manage queues that had spilled onto the road when Big B’s ‘Shahenshah’ — his first film after his return to movies from politics — released in 1988, officers in uniform and plainclothes had to be posted outside liquor stores on Monday.
