NEW DELHI: Uncertainty prevailed over availability of liquor in the national capital as the private liquor stores in Delhi were scheduled to shut shop from Monday after expiry of their licences. Sources, however, claimed that Delhi government was likely to come out with a notification by late Sunday night, allowing liquor stores currently running in the city to remain open till August end.
"This was needed as the government has decided to revert to old excise policy regime and run stores through its agencies, a process that could create shortage and chaos as the new shops will take days to open," said a government source.
