The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) caused a stir by permitting passengers to carry two sealed liquor bottles while using the metro trains. This announcement came nearly a month ago, and daily metro commuters welcomed it with open arms. However, the decision has now drawn objections from the excise department of the Delhi government, which claims that the new directive is in violation of existing laws.
The unexpected shift in policy was met with skepticism from the excise department, which argues that such decisions require consultation with them, as they are responsible for regulating and overseeing matters related to liquor in the city. It remains to be seen how this matter will be resolved and whether the DMRC will reconsider its stance on allowing liquor bottles on metro trains.
