Delhi 's excise department has warned of strict action against Delhi's clubs, hotels and restaurants if they are found using liquor bottles to serve alcohol, without the 2D bar-code. This comes after certain establishments were found using liquor and beer bottles which did not have 2D bar-code and those that were not readable. There are over 1,000 hotels, clubs and restro-bars in the national capital which have an excise license to serve liquor to their customers, according to news agency PTI. Ranjeet Singh has directed these places to paste the 2D bar-code with a cello tape in order to avoid it from coming off the bottle while serving alcohol. At Indira Gandhi International Aiport, six liquor vends should be set up, the committee said in its recommendations.
