text_fieldsbookmark_border
Thiruvananthapuram: The State government Thursday issued an order making the new liquor policy an Abkari act.
The order comes in the wake of the High Court order asking the government to convert the policy into a law in terms of the Constitution.
Kerala High Court Tuesday had asked the government to legalise the newly evolved liquor policy by formulating a law as per the Constitution of India.
The court was considering a batch of appeals filed by bar owners. The court had posted the case to September 17 and asked the State to submit the progress made in the issue.
As per the new liquor policy, the government has decided to close down all the bars in the State, except those attached to five-star hotels.
