"liquor-sales"

Former Minister and BRS senior MLA T Harish Rao came down heavily on the Congress government over the steep hike in liquor prices. He charged the Congress for deceiving the people of Telangana

Officials said alcohol worth Rs 708 crore was sold in the district for 2024-25 financial year as against Rs 703 crore in the previous fiscal year

Som Distilleries and Breweries Limited has filed a case in Bhopal court against BRS spokesperson Krishank Manne over his allegations, leading to cancellation of liquor sale permission in Telangana

He condemned the recent issuance of memos to 30 excise circle inspectors, who were reportedly warned with transfers for failing to meet increased liquor sales targets.

The state-run Kerala State Beverages Corporation is the sole wholesaler of liquor and beer in Kerala.

The Telangana State Beverages Corporation had estimated a sale of about Rs.135 crore to Rs.150 crore on the last day of 2023

In fact, in the last four days, liquor sales worth Rs.750 crore were registered in Telangana

A total of 4.29 lakh cases of liquor IMFL and a total of 5.61 lakh cases of beer were sold to the liquor shops from the depots

While the Police Department is strictly enforcing the lockdown, the Excise Department is annoyed with the former for its alleged highhandedness with liquor shop owners in doing business even during lockdown relaxation timing

The Prohibition and Excise department also permitted license holders of bars, event organizers to serve liquor upto 1 a.m. on the intervening night of December 31 and January 1

And this has disappointed liquor shop owners, who were hoping to see some long queues in front of their shops soon after the elections were notified
