The existing Delhi excise policy is likely to continue for another month, claimed Delhi government sources.
The existing Delhi excise policy is likely to continue for another month, said Delhi government sources.
The claims have surfaced hours after Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said the Aam Aadmi Party's old liquor sale policy will be back in force from August 1, sparking confusion among people.
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.
However, sources said it was almost impossible to complete the administrative formalities before August 1.

They also said that it will be difficult to implement the old policy from August 1 as no cabinet decision has been taken regarding this so far.
Even at the earliest, it will take at least 48 hours to complete formalities and bring a notification, they said.
