This year is coming to an end, and as appalled as we are about it ending so soon, it’s officially time to change our calendar dates and embrace the year 2023 for everything it will bring for us. Some of us like to plan ahead, and while we’re sorting through the list of all the long weekends and festivals that are hopefully not falling on the weekend, it’s also important to be aware of the dry days falling on specific days when we might have an event planned. Dry days essentially fall on the day of a particular event, like a festival or a national holiday, when the sale of alcohol is strictly prohibited in malls, liquor shops, pubs, taverns, cafes and hotels. The Delhi government had announced that it’s returning to its previous practice of additional dry days in the year instead of just the three on national holidays. To help you prevent any unexpected cancellation of plans, we have compiled a list of all the Dry Days in Delhi in 2023. So drink responsibly and bookmark this list for future use. Dry Days in India 2023 List in PDF For Free Download: Check New Year Calendar With Festival Dates When Alcohol Will Not Be Available for Sale.
