"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have instructed the Permanent Secretary in our Ministry to issue a circular to all district liquor boards to take care of that. A circular is being circulated to the district liquor committees to enforce the law. It is until I table the regulations which are being published as we are talking that the law will take effect. In the meantime, bar owners are free to use the previous licences, timings and business hours. So, that, notwithstanding, I have directed that bar owners should never be harassed. If there is any harassment, I am around to control that. On the issue of illicit brews as he has mentioned, it is illicit! That means it is illegal. Any illicit brew is not allowed. Even the new Act says the same! We will not allow any illicit brew to be sold because of the death cases which we have witnessed. We will rein in those who have those illicit brews. I believe those are the two issues which they wanted me to clarify. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have another Ministerial Statement!"
