Besides, all liquor distributors have been asked to submit information about their stock on the first working day of every week so that supply of liquor is not affected in the city.

The move comes after complaints were received that supply of some liquor brands is being affected.

“All L 1 licensees (wholesale suppliers of liquor) have been directed to maintain at least one week’s stock of all the brands approved for sale in Delhi.

“Apart from this, they have also been asked to submit weekly stock position on the first working day of every week to the Assistant Commissioner (excise),” an official said.
