A drink isn’t required to feel like a king. And it is none other than the ‘jungle ka raja’ who brings you this message. Gujarat’s prohibition and excise department have a new mascot: the Asiatic lion.
For the first time since its establishment, the department has picked a mascot. “Raja chhu raja chhu raja chhu raja chhu raja chhu raja chhu raja chhu raja chhu raj Nashabandhi aapna dwara, aapna maate (Even though I don’t drink, I am still the king of the jungle. Prohibition of alcohol by us, for everyone), “The symbol corresponds to the statement.
According to a senior officer in the prohibition department, the mascot was chosen after discussions with the newly appointed ministers. “If a person does not drink, he or she can be as confident as a lion. If he or she is caught drinking, cops would roar like lions in front of the accused “another top officer stated
The officer went on to say that because Gujarat is famed for its Asiatic lions, it was a natural option for a mascot.
“There are many animals in Gujarat, but the lion is an important element of the state’s identity.” The state is most renowned for two things: Asiatic lions and ‘darubandhi’ (prohibition). As a result, the officer believes that making the Asiatic lion our mascot is a good idea.
