Delhi Assembly Session Updates: In the Assembly today, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta tabled the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) report on the now-scrapped liquor policy.
Titled ‘Performance Audit on Regulation and Supply of Liquor in Delhi,’ the CAG report alleged that the excise policy led to a revenue loss of approximately Rs 2,002 crore for the government. This includes around Rs 890 crore due to the failure to retender surrendered retail licences and an additional Rs 941 crore resulting from exemptions granted to zonal licensees.
Gupta had announced last Thursday that the reports would be made public in the first session under the new government. The pending CAG audits include reviews of state finances, public health infrastructure, vehicular air pollution and the functioning of the Delhi Transport Corporation, among others.
