Gurugram: In the Millennium City Gurugram, with the implementation of the new excise policy, liquor and beer became expensive. While people will now have to pay five rupees extra for country liquor, they will have to pay 20 rupees more on beer. There has been a 5 percent increase in the price of foreign liquor as well.

Licensed bar operators will now be able to buy liquor from any of the three shops in their vicinity. The condition is that all three liquor shops should be of different license holders. In the excise policy, there has been an increase of up to seven per cent as compared to the reserve price, while the price of liquor has increased less. Earlier, 50 to 60 rupees were increased per box.

This time, there has been an increase of 20 to 25 rupees per box. Gurugram citizens every year drink liquor for thousands of crores of rupees. There are more than 200 liquor and wine shops in the city.

English and imported liquor are sold more at these wine shops.

The government has reduced the powers of the divisional commissioners of the state. The decision taken during the tenure of former Chief Minister Manohar Lal has been changed. The divisional commissioner and the officers of the police administration will hold meetings at their respective levels as before and send the report to the headquarters. The main reason behind this is said to be the increasing conflict between the IAS and IPS lobby.
