NEW DELHI: Liquor shops across Delhi will shut two hours earlier than usual, at 8 pm instead of 10 pm, until the weekend ends in view of the the ongoing student protests at Jantar Mantar, sources said.
The decision follows an unannounced early closure of liquor shops on Thursday that left many customers surprised after they were turned away.
“The shops will now close by 8 pm till the weekend. The decision was taken based on the police inputs flagging the prevailing situation due to the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar,” a senior Delhi government officer said.
