Rise In Price of Alcohol In Several States
Hello
Folks, today we will be discussing about the rise in price of alcohol. After
thousands of Indians lined up outside liquor stores to buy their drinks because
liquor sale was allowed again on the lock down 3.0. Liquor sale is proving to be
a windfall an absolute windfall for cash-strapped governments battling the
pandemic. At least three state governments have now hiked liquor prices by a
huge margin this is in response not just to the need for money but also because
of the huge crowds that are thronged liquor markets throwing social distancing
to the wind.

Delhi has imposed a steep of 70 percent
Corona tax on the sale of liquor. Similarly, Andhra Pradesh has imposed for
50 percent tax. After a 25 percent hike so it's the second hike in the price of
alcohol in Andhra. The Trinamool ruled West Bengal government has also hiked the
price of liquor by 30 percent by imposing of fresh Karuna tax on the maximum
retail price of liquor. So, liquor prices in the Indian capital of Delhi had
soared to an unprecedented level 70 percent which means the price of liquor is
practically double. Now the prices shot up after the court case Reweld. Government
imposed a 70 percent Karuna tax on the sale of all liquor and this is a 70
percent tax remember on the maximum retail price. The additional tax was
imposed a day after chaotic scenes.

An absolutely unbelievable rush at alcohol
shops and there was criticism from the central as well the changed price of
alcohol has kicked in today after the late-night order. Last night on the
second day long queues was still seen. Long's queues are still seen outside
liquor shops even though a fewer number than yesterday. Police once again had
to resort to a lot a charge to control huge crowds in Delhi's Mallya as they
broke all social distancing norms. On day two of liquor sale many such shops
remain shut today as a result sources tells that 123 liquor vendors were
operational on day one which is yesterday and today the number has actually
risen to 171. As you can see hardly five
or six people are standing in the queue but do not get confused as this line
stretches for more than five kilometers there is a small gate which has been
made by pillars and we go outside of this gate and from this area till that
point this line stretches for more than two kilometers .

People I've been standing in queue since
morning they have been waiting for their turn patiently as you can see this
look very less distance between them so social distance is very easily being
compromised. This line takes a curve from that area and then it rounds up and
then joins that line that which this line extends up till almost that metro
main gate which is for about two kilometers away from this particular area. Today
we can observe that wearing a mask or maintaining social distancing is
something people are not doing. Some people, the volunteers are trying to get
people to maintain social distancing but nobody is listening. In the national
capital seventy percent tax on the sale of alcohol.

This is an
opportunity to gain from the sale of alcohol which is a totally legitimate
reason absolutely. The government of Delhi has been facing a massive revenue
deficit in a force for that alcohol. As you've been reporting ship every almost,
every day, who does account for a major chunk of revenue that each state gets
now after what we saw yesterday Arvind Kejriwal the Chief Minister came out and
said that people continue to behave the way they are behaving. I will have no
option but to shut down the leaked events there was still a tussle which was
going on between the Delhi police and the government on who was supposed to
make sure that the lockdown norms are the socialist sensing norms are
implemented on the ground today surprisingly they got the government not only
has increased the number of the Karuna say tax that they have put on the liquor
across the day our city they have also increased the number of shops which were
open yesterday's.
