Minister for Excise R.B. Thimmapur has promised to review the conditions governing the sanction of licences under CL-7 for selling liquor to guests in hotels and boarding houses after members cutting across party lines took exception to the indiscriminate issue of new licences by the authorities.
After S.N. Narayanaswamy, Congress MLA representing Bangarpet, raised the issue during Question Hour in the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday, Mr. Thimmapur said the existing rules had not stipulated any norms on the building plan of the hotel or boarding house or the extent of area to be reserved for parking on their premises.
