The Telangana government announced a lockdown for ten days on Tuesday. The lockdown will be relaxed from 6 am to 10 am daily for all the activities. On Tuesday, scores of tipplers thronged liquor shops and serpentine queues were witnessed outside the wine shops.
The liquor shops at Lakdikapool, Narayanaguda, Banjara Hills, Secunderabad, Chaitanyapuri, Hayathnagar, etc., were overcrowded. The officials of the Excise department are saying that they can't open liquor shops before 10 am in the state according to their rules.
The Association of Liquor and Beer Suppliers urged the Telangana government to look into the possibility of wine shop owners charging a nominal fee to supply liquor at customers' doorstep during the lockdown.
