SC for home delivery of liquor
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday observed that states should consider selling liquor via non-contact means such as home delivery during the nationwide lockdown imposed to stem the spread of Covid-19, the Indian Express reported.
“We will not pass any order but the states should consider indirect sale/home delivery of liquor to maintain social distancing norms and standards,” Justice Ashok Bhushan, heading a three-judge bench said.
Long queues, extending for a kilometre in some areas, were seen outside liquor stores across the country after the Centre announced lockdown relaxations from May 4.
