The Delhi Lieutenant Governor (L-G), Vinai Kumar Saxena, has approved the Delhi government's proposal to extend the liquor retail licences issued under the revamped excise policy by a month. This means that the liquor shops and bars in the national capital will reopen soon.
The national capital saw an unofficial dry day on Monday as liquor shops and bars kept their shutters down and no alcohol could be served in hotels, clubs and bars after the expiry of excise licenses on July 31. The L-G has, however, approved the proposal to extend the liquor retail licences.
