Delhi private liquor shops to remain shut from October 1, here's why

Under the Delhi government's new policy, all the 850 liquor vends, including the 260-odd outlets run privately, have been given to private firms through open tender.

New Delhi: Tipplers in Delhi may face problems in getting their favourite brands in the next one-and-half months as around 40 per cent of private liquor vends in the national capital will shut down from October 1.

While nearly 260 privately-owned liquor shops will be shutting down businesses, only state government-run liquor outlets will continue to operate till November 16.
