The Delhi government's proposal to reopen liquor bars - that have been shut for over six months because of the coronavirus pandemic - has been approved by Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, sources said. Pubs, restaurants and hotels that have the required licenses can also serve liquor, they said, adding the order is likely to be implemented from September 9. All the businesses serving liquor at their premises will have to strictly adhere to the standard operating procedures laid down by the Central government - including the usage of masks and maintaining social distance - to arrest the transmission of the virus that has killed over 67,000 people in the country so far.
