NEW DELHI : All private liquor shops in the national capital are likely to reopen from Friday as the Delhi government has directed these outlets to submit their monthly stock record (MSR) by May 21.
However, liquor shops in malls will remain closed in accordance with the government's order, the excise department said. There are around 450 private liquor shops in Delhi which will be allowed to open on odd-even basis, it said.
All government liquor vends have already been permitted to open in the city, except those in malls and containment zones. The order further states that owners of private liquor shops will have to give an undertaking that their outlets do not fall under covid-19 containment zones.
