Tirupati: Andhra Pradesh's new liquor policy will help curtail adulteration of liquor and check other discrepancies with regards to the sale of liquor, opined the State's Excise Minister Kollu Ravindra. The Andhra Pradesh minister on a pilgrimage to Tirumala spoke to media persons. The minister stated that the state government was not willing to rake in huge revenues at the expense of public health.
The minister added that the aim of the government was to bring down the consumption of alcohol in the state gradually besides educating people and creating awareness among the people on the ill-effects of consumption of illicit liquor. Ravindra stated that the excise department had already initiated a number of measures to keep a strong tab on the inventory and prevent adulteration and other discrepancies.
“We can now track the location of a liquor bottle from the manufacturing facility to retail shops to the consumers,” he observed.
