Delhi Liquor New Policy: Since the implementation of the new excise policy in the capital Delhi, the prices of liquor in Delhi had come down significantly. After the introduction of the new excise policy, one bottle was also being given free of cost on many contracts. But after some time, most of the shops were locked. Due to which there is a huge shortage of liquor in Delhi at present. In such a situation, the Aam Aadmi Party government of Delhi is going to take a big step in view of this.
In view of the shortage of liquor in the country capital Delhi due to the closure of private liquor shops from August 1, Arvind Kejriwal’s government is contemplating to extend the new excise policy by one month. Earlier, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said that the Delhi government has decided to withdraw the new excise policy for the time being and has directed the sale of liquor through government-run shops.
According to the input received from the media agency, a proposal is likely to be presented before the Delhi Cabinet soon regarding the extension of the policy for 2021-22 in view of the chaos due to the closure of private liquor shops and the time required to open government contracts.
468 private liquor shops operating in Delhi will be closed from August 1 after the expiry of the license period and the new excise policy on July 31. After the announcement of changing the excise policy, privately run liquor shops are also offering one buy-two freebies to clear their stock on Saturday. Due to which long queues of those who buy liquor are also being seen at such shops.
Earlier, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had said that the Delhi government has withdrawn the new excise policy and has been directed to sell liquor only from government shops. He said that the Chief Secretary has been asked to ensure that there is no disorder in the city during this period before the opening of government liquor shops and also to check the sale of illicit liquor.
