Rajasthan govt to denotify highways to avoid SC's liquor ban
Rajasthan government has decided to denotify the state highways to urban roads or district roads to avoid the Supreme Court order banning liquor shops within 500 metres of state, national highways. "This would mean that most liquor vends would continue," said a government official. In 2015-16, Rajasthan earned â¹6,700 crore from excise duty and aimed for â¹7,300 crore for 2016-17.
