Delhi takes tough measures to curb public drinking
The Delhi Excise Department has directed all retail liquor outlets to install CCTV cameras with adequate strength to capture footage stretching at least 50 meters outside the vends.
Officials said the fresh order was necessitated by instances of open alcohol consumption in the capital, especially around such outlets. In the order dated September 6, Assistant Commissioner (Excise) JP Singh directed the vends to take every possible measure to tackle open drinking of liquor.
