L-G vs Delhi government again as liquor policy comes under lens

New Delhi, 22/7: Delhi LG V K Saxena recommended a CBI probe into Kejriwal government’s Excise Policy, 2021-22, over alleged violations of rules and procedural lapses, officials said on Friday.

 

The CBI inquiry was recommended on Delhi Chief Secretary’s report filed earlier this month, showing prima facie violations of GNCTD Act 1991, Transaction of Business Rules (ToBR)-1993, Delhi Excise Act-2009 and Delhi Excise Rules-2010, they said.

 

Apart from this there were also “deliberate and gross procedural lapses” to provide post tender “undue benefits to liquor licensees”, said the officials.
