Delhi Set to Implement New Liquor Policy by June 30 Deadline
The Delhi government is making new rules about selling alcohol.
The old rules, from 2021, were changed because of some problems.
Now, they're making a new plan that should be better and more fair.
They want to make sure the alcohol is good quality, the sales are open for everyone to see, and that people are safe.
The new plan will use ideas from other places and should be ready by the end of June.
They also want to check for things like keeping the public safe and keeping the cost reasonable.
Delhi is drafting a new liquor policy to replace the current one expiring June 30.
The new policy aims for quality liquor, transparent sales, and social protection.
The existing policy, implemented in September 2022, replaced a controversial model from 2021.
The government is studying other states' excise policies for best practices.
The new policy will include scientific testing and digitisation to improve transparency.
