You have to immediately send a legal notice to the House owner asking him to vacate the liquor business immediately. If he does not oblige we can file an injunction suit to permanently restrain such activities in residential area

It is the basic social issues raising every where. Please do one thing, along with other residential, please lodge a complaint to the State Exercise department with the photographs and video. There is a separate rule for opening for Liquor shops. In case if it was violated any one can lodge a complaint against such persons.
here publics opinion impotent. So please ask some other residential person who are really affected by such shop, and together lodge a complaint to the Concerned authority and also copy to a The Commissioner of Police and the Local Jurisdictional Police.
