Liquor Shop Licenses Suspended in Noida for Overcharging Customers
Some liquor stores in Noida were caught charging too much money.
The government found out and suspended their licenses, meaning they can't sell alcohol anymore.
One of the shops is a model shop in Jagat Farm.
A salesperson at that shop had an issue with an excise inspector.
Now, the shops have been told to stop selling alcohol immediately and must explain why they were overcharging.
The government will decide if they can get their licenses back or if they will lose them for good.
If the licenses are canceled, the government will sell them to other people.
Three liquor shops in Noida and Greater Noida had their licenses suspended.
The suspension was due to complaints of overcharging customers.
