Indian state to allow home delivery of liquor

MUMBAI, Oct. 14, 2018 (BSS/Xinhua) – Indian state of Maharashtra
government is planning to introduce a new policy that will allow liquor being
delivered to home.

State minister for excise Chandrashekhar Bawankule has told media that
this would be a game changer for the alcohol business. Maharashtra is
probably going to be the first state in the nation to implement such a
policy.

“The main objective is to reduce growing cases of drunken driving due to
which there have been many accidents and resulted in great loss of lives,”
the minister said in a press conference.
