As per the plan, the residents of a particular area can now vote out a liquor shop from their area if they face harassment because of the existence of the liquor shop in their area. “Liquor shops, including those running legally, will face the public scrutiny if there are any problems to the residents of the area. The residents will now be free to approach their respective MLAs and district administration with their complaints against such liquor vends,” the AAP government said in its statement. In a statement, the Delhi government said that in a first, two liquor shops were voted for closure on October 16 in Rohini. “Once the voting process and hearing is done, the local police and department of excise will submit a report for the closure of the particular shop,” an official said.
