Delhi govt waters down contentious liquor order after furore
India | August 31, 2019 13:06 ISTThe amended order would now kick in from October 1, 2019 instead of August 31 as directed earlier. Citing the issue of refilling of liquor bottles and adulteration at bar counters, the Delhi Excise Department had on August 26 ordered beer bars and restaurants serving liquor to destroy old stock from the counters in the prescribed time limit on "First In First Out" basis. The time limit for various categories of liquors was three, five and eight days after which they had to be destroyed.
