Delhi government has extended licences of country liquor vends by two months till September🌞 30 as fresh tenders are yet to be finalised, officials said on Mondꦛay.
Meanwhile, vends selling Indian and Foreign liquor brands will remꦍain🌱 shut despite the one month extension granted by Delhi government on Sunday as a nod from Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena is awaited, they said.
The excise depa🦋rtment♛ of Delhi government, in an order issued on Saturday, extended the licences of over 250 country liquor shops in the city.
"The extension is subject to payment of pro-rata fee for the extension period," said the order. Tenders for country liquor licence were floated twice in rece🍬nt months.
On the first occasion, the tender failed to attract adequate number of 🌟bidders while the excise department scrapped it the second time after findඣing out that bidders were "pooling" to keep the bids low, they added.
