Delhi government scraps new liquor policy, old policy to make a come back

Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday said that the Aam Aadmi Party's old liquor sale policy will be back in force from August 1.

Days after the Lieutenant Governor recommended a CBI probe into the implementation of the new excise policy, the Delhi government took a U-turn and decided to go back to the old regime of retail liquor sales in the city.

At the same time, Sisodia defended the government's new liquor policy and said that the policy was meant to curb corruption.
