CAG report on Delhi excise policy; Maha Kumbh to end after Amrit Snan on Mahashivratri

A CAG report tabled in the Delhi Assembly has flagged alleged irregularities in the excise policy under Arvind Kejriwal’s tenure. It points to a major revenue loss for the state, citing concerns such as monopoly risks, missing approvals, and unauthorised exemptions. The report attributes losses to zonal license exemptions and the absence of competitive bidding for retail licenses.
