NEW DELHI: Four liquor manufacturers on Sunday raised objections to the Delhi government's new excise policy recommendations and warned that these would bring in cartelization besides hitting the government's revenue.
The Delhi government had recently received around 10,000 suggestions on the recommendations of its expert committee on several issues, including opening more private liquor vends and reducing the legal age for drinking from 25 to 21 years.
The excise department of the city government had sought comments and suggestions from the general public on the report of the expert committee by January 21.
