Liquor Outlet Near Gauhati University Put on Hold Amid Public Outcry
Excise Minister Atul Bora halted the licence for an IMFL outlet near Gauhati University after public backlash. Though issued under Assam Excise Rules, the licence is now on hold pending review. The Assam Jatiya Parishad criticized the move, citing a High Court order banning liquor outlets within 500 metres of educational institutions. The party urged the government to focus on cultural and academic spaces instead.
