Bengaluru, Feb 10: Based on the 2011 census, the Excise department has estimated that 1,725 new liquor retail shops (CL-2) are required in the State. The new licences would generate more revenue for the State exchequer and will also help curb the illegal sale of liquor.

liquorPreviously, the CL-2 estimation was done based on the norms of the Excise Act, which permits one liquor shop for every 15,000 persons in rural areas and one shop for every 7,500 persons in urban areas. The government had granted more arrack shops in rural areas before 2007 (sale of arrack was banned that year). As there were more arrack shops the number of CL-2 lincences in rural areas was confined.

The State issued 3,935 licences (CL-2)?in 1992 based on the population data released in 1991. Though it has been two-and-half decades since then, the government has not issued any new licences in this category or for bar and restaurants (CL-9).

On the other hand, the government has been issuing new licences in the categories of CL-4 (clubs), CL-6A (star hotels), CL-7 (hotels and boarding houses), CL-7D (hotels and boardings houses owned by SC and ST), CL-8 (military canteen stores) and CL-8A (bonded warehouse). It had put a ban on CL-2 and CL-9.

A total of 9,871 liquor licences in various categories bring the State a good revenue. Increase in sales every year and additional tax impositions are also helping the government double liquor revenue.

An official from the department told Deccan Herald that issuing fresh licences would fetch the State exchequer more revenue, as the CL-2 shops have to pay the licence fee every year. The move will also help stop shops from charging extra as they face no competition.

The department has submitted its estimation report and had also sent a proposal to the government on three different occasions to issue new licences. But it has not yet made a decision in this regard, said Excise Commissioner Umashankar R S.

The department has fixed the licence fee for each category based on various parameters. For instance a CL-2 licence holder has to pay Rs 4.6 lakh every year if it is located in a corporation city with a population of more than 20 lakh, otherwise it costs Rs 3.64 lakh per year.

It seems that Government of Karnataka need more money to spend their MLA's/MLC's and ministers expenditures. There are other states are thinking total ban on liquor whereas Karnataka is thinking of more licenses to liquor shops. The scapegoats are poor and middle class people of this state.

Siddaramayya must think more time on this and no more licenses are issued and don't bend down to the liquor lobby.

Mumbai, May 13: Members of the Muslim community helped in performing the last rites of their 72-year-old Hindu neighbour in Sewri area here after the deceased's relatives could not reach for his funeral due to the lockdown.

Pandurang Ubale, who was paralysed since the last few months, died at his residence in Zakaria Bunder area of Sewri on Monday. He had been staying there along with his wife and son since some decades.

After his death on Monday, his relatives staying in suburban Mulund, Belapur in adjoining Navi Mumbai and Alibaug in neighbouring Raigad district could not come over to his place in the wake of the coronavirus-induced lockdown.

As Ubale's wife and son were unable to make all arrangements for the funeral, they informed their neighbours, who came forward to help and even prepared the bier.

A neighbour, Asif Sheikh, who attended the funeral, said, We knew Ubale uncle since a long time. He always participated in our festivals and we used to be a part of their festivities. We all came forward to bid him a farewell and helped in performing his last rites."

Last month also,some Muslim men carried the body of a Hindu neighbour in suburban Bandra on their shoulders to the cremation ground after the deceased's relatives were unable to attend the last rites due to the lockdown.
