Amid senior BJP leader Uma Bharti’s demand for a “controlled liquor policy”, the Madhya Pradesh government has set up a cabinet committee to submit recommendations on a new framework for the sector, an official said on Saturday.
A new policy was supposed to be announced on January 31 but got delayed, apparently due to Bharti’s demands, including closure of ‘ahatas’ (area for drinking attached to a liquor shop) and ban on liquor shops in a one-kilometre radius around schools and some other establishments, sources said.
