The Government had modified the Excise policy restricting bars to municipalities and corporations and avoiding them in villages.
The changes, introduced through two orders issued on Wednesday based on an ordinance promulgated on May 19 provide for giving licences for liquor shops through sealed tenders, which will decide the upset price. This will replace the earlier system of drawing lots to allot a liquor shop. The licence will be valid for one year from July 1 and will not be renewed for the next year but can apply afresh. The changes prohibit licences from opening bars cum restaurants within 100 metres of the educational institutions, places of worship and hospitals.
