Liquor to be sold from October 1 in Telangana

The new excise policy of Telangana government, which will come into force from October 1, is set to extend working hours for bars and liquor shops by one more hour in the night.

A draft copy of excise policy has been submitted to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Friday. Mr Rao convened a meeting with officials at the Secretariat on Friday to finalise the policy. However, no decision was taken on extending working hours in Friday’s meeting. It was decided to meet again and discuss before taking a final decision on this issue.
