The Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi is facing the heat over its now withdrawn Excise Policy.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Amid the ongoing political tug of war between Aam Aadmi Party and Bharatiya Janata Party over Delhi excise policy, the AAP-led Punjab government may soon come under attack by the state opposition for its excise policy.&nbsp;
A delegation led by Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal, and other leaders submitted a memorandum to Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit on Wednesday and demanded a CBI inquiry into state excise policy.&nbsp;
The delegation alleged a scam in the policy. Badal said, "There has been a scam in Punjab Excise Policy just like it happened in Delhi. Just like the Delhi LG has ordered an inquiry into the Excise Policy case, we demand a CBI inquiry along the same lines in Punjab.&rdquo; Taking to Twitter, the SAD chief said that they have demanded CBI and ED probes in the Punjab Excise Policy. The Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi is facing the heat over its now withdrawn Excise Policy, with the BJP taking on the Arvind Kejriwal-led government and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who heads the excise department

Delhi LG suspends 11 officials for lapses in implementation of excise policy: Sources

Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has suspended 11 officials, including then Delhi excise commissioner Arava Gopi Krishna and deputy excise commissioner Anand Kumar Tiwari, over "serious lapses" in the implementation of the Excise Policy 2021-22, sources said on Saturday.


The LG took the decision in view of the "serious lapses on the part of the officers concerned" in the implementation of the excise policy, including "irregularities in finalising the tender and extending post-tender benefits" to select vendors.

Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena suspended and initiated disciplinary proceedings against 11 officials, including former Delhi excise commissioner Arava Gopi Krishna and deputy excise commissioner Anand Kumar Tiwari, over "serious lapses" in the implementation of the Excise Policy 2021-22, as per sources.
Three ad-hoc DANICS officers and six officials of the Delhi government's excise department are also among those suspended, the sources at the LG office said.
The LG has taken the decision over "irregularities in finalising the tender and extending post-tender benefits" to select vendors," on the part of the officers.
The action was taken by Saxena on the basis of an inquiry report filed by the Directorate of Vigilance (DoV).

A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry has already been recommended by the LG into the alleged violation of rules and procedural lapses in the implementation of the Excise Policy 2021-22.
Under the policy, implemented on November 17, 2021, private firms were issued retail licences for 849 liquor vends across the city divided into 32 zones.
The policy was withdrawn by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government on July 30, led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday said he has written to the CBI requesting a probe into what he said was a sudden change in former lieutenant governor Anil Baijal&rsquo;s decision to open shops in unauthorised colonies.
The change in the L-G&rsquo;s decision on shops in unauthorised colonies caused &ldquo;thousands of crores of losses&rdquo; to the Delhi government, said Sisodia.

Preempting chaos due to liquor shortage in the city, Delhi government on Sunday decided to extend existing licences of liquor shops till August 31, officials said.
The private liquor stores numbering 468 in Delhi were scheduled to shut shop from Monday after expiry of their licences on July 31.
However, the liquor shops will open only after the excise department's order following the LG's nod, they said.
"The government has sent decision of its Cabinet to extend existing liquor vend licences for one month, up to August 31, to the Lt Governor. Orders allowing the liquor stores to remain open after July 31 will be issued after LG's approval," officials said.
Delhi government has decided to revert back to old excise regime and run liquor stores through its agencies after realising that the Excise Policy 2021-22 was not able to achieve the desired objectives of fetching greater revenues and the fact that it's implementation is under scanner for alleged violation of rules and procedural lapses, officials said.
The government stores of liquor will open for a period of six months from September 1 and till then the private vends will continue to operate, they said.
 "This was needed as the government has already decided to revert to old excise policy regime and run stores through its agencies, a process that could create shortage and chaos as the new shops will take days to open," said a government source.
The government on Saturday announced reverting back to old excise regime and run stores itself for six months. Under the Excise Policy 2021-22, 468 retail liquor stores were running in the city whose licences expired after July 31.
Many liquor vends in the city, however, were closed after selling out stocks through rebates and special schemes like buy one get two free.
"There is some more liquor and beer available and people are coming to get whatever they can. Those asking for specific brands have returned back empty handed also," said a liquor store manager in Laxmi Nagar.
The rush was more on Saturday but with liquor stores running out of stock, customers have now started looking to neighbouring Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon and Faridabad for their quota. 
The Excise Policy 2021-22 extended by the government till July 31 was withdrawn in the backdrop of a CBI probe recommended by the Lt Governor into alleged violation of rules and procedural lapses in its implementation.  The policy was extended twice since April this year, as the government was still working on a revised excise policy for 2022-23 for which necessary approvals were yet to be taken.
Under the Excise Policy, government had issued retail licences for 849 vends across the city divided into 32 zones. Currently only 468 were running whose licences expired on July 31 as the policy has been withdrawn by the government.
There was no clarity over extension of other excise licenses including those for hotels, clubs and restaurants serving liquor and wholesale liquor operations that too seized to exist after withdrawing of the Excuse Policy 2021-22.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia who also holds Excise portfolio had said announcing withdrawal of Excise policy on Saturday that the Chief Secretary was directed to ensure that there was no "chaos" in the city during the transition period before opening of government liquor stores.  The Chief Secretary was also asked for keeping check on sale of illegal alcohol in the city in the meantime, Sisodia had said.
