Liquor shops in Uttar Pradesh have started giving huge discounts to clear their stock. This decision has been taken in view of the government’s new liquor policy, under which new tenders have been issued for liquor shops. This policy will come into effect from March 31.
Huge posters have been put up outside liquor shops in cities like Lucknow, Noida informing customers about huge discounts and “buy one, get one free” offers. Shop owners say they will incur huge losses if they fail to sell their stock.
