    "content": "In reply to the clarification sought by the hon. Member, the draft Alcoholic Drink Control Licensing Regulations (2010) is now ready. The draft regulations have made provisions for the conduct of the business and affairs of the district committee, the fees payable for issuance of each licence under the Act and the hours of business of different licences issued under the Act. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the draft Legal Notice containing the regulations was forwarded to the Attorney-General on 10th for approval and subsequent gazettement. The regulations will be gazetted anytime from today. Until the regulations are gazetted, the opening hours remain as before. In this respect, the police have been directed to wait until such a date when the regulations to make provisions for hours of business shall be gazetted. In other words, I would not expect the police officers to harass bar owners. I would not expect the District Liquor Committee to harass bar owners. Let them wait until the regulations are gazetted and until I make another announcement that the regulations have now been gazetted. As for now, I will not expect any kind of harassment from any quarters. The bars will continue with their previous operating hours."
