Will people still get huge discounts on liquor?

The old liquor policy has come into force in Delhi from September 1. In view of this, people bought a lot of liquor to take advantage of the offer of the Kejriwal government.

Government contract days returned in Delhi?
The old liquor policy has come into force in Delhi from September 1. Government shops will open again for sale of liquor. Licenses have also been given to more than 300 liquor shops. The government aims to open 700 shops by December.

50 lakh boxes of liquor reached so far
