In an apparent bid to prevent deaths caused by hooch, the Delhi government has decided to supply country liquor across the city from next year. Finance Minister Dr A K Walia had last month visited a plant in Puduchery, where they have been bottling country liquor for some months. This step is a part of the series of measures taken by the government after last year's hooch tragedy in which over a dozen people lost their lives in West Delhi.
The move will ensure that Delhi only gets wholesale supply of country liquor which then will be bottled by government and sent to the retail vends. The government will now allow the sale of country liquor only of a specific quality.
At present, country liquor is made out of rectified spirit, which is highly concentrated Ethanol purified by repeated distillation. The government will make country liquor based on extra neutral alcohol, a more purified version.
The strength of country liquor will be retained at 28.5 per cent, much lower than hard drinks like whisky which have at least a 42.8 per cent proof.
