Uttar Pradesh Launches UP Excise Citizen App for Liquor Purchase Transparency
Uttar Pradesh has a new app called the 'UP Excise Citizen App' to help people who buy alcohol.
When you buy a bottle of liquor or beer, you can scan a special code on it with this app.
The app will show you all the important details about that drink, like what it is, how strong it is, and how much it costs.
It also tells you which shop it came from.
This helps make sure you are buying real alcohol from a licensed store.
If you see something that doesn't look right, you can use the app to report it to the government so they can fix the problem.
Uttar Pradesh Excise Minister launched the 'UP Excise Citizen App' on Monday.
The app aims to ensure transparent sales of standard liquor and beer from licensed shops.
Consumers can scan the QR code on liquor bottles to view brand, strength, MRP, and shop details.
The app is available on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
Citizens are urged to verify purchases and report any discrepancies via the app or helpline.
