The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ordered the state government to implement the new excise policy, which aims to reduce the number of liquor shops in the state. The court was hearing a petition filed by a group of residents, who had complained about the large number of liquor shops in the state and the impact it was having on the society. The petitioners had argued that the state government had failed to implement the new excise policy, which had resulted in the proliferation of liquor shops in the state. The court observed that the state government had a statutory obligation to implement the policy and that it was necessary to take immediate action to address the problem of liquor shops in the state. The court has directed the state government to implement the policy within three months and to submit a report to the court on the progress made. The new excise policy aims to reduce the number of liquor shops in the state by 30% and to ensure that the remaining shops are located at a distance of at least 100 meters from schools, hospitals, and other sensitive areas. The policy also aims to increase the license fee for liquor shops and to impose stricter penalties on those who violate the excise laws.
