Congress, GFP speak out against liquor sale app

The Congress and the Goa Forward Party on Saturday opposed the government’s directives which have asked bars and tavern owners to upload details of their daily purchases.
In fact, the GFP asked the government to amend the Goa Excise Act and Rules to stop seeking such details.
Opposition leader Digambar Kamat urged Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to put on hold the directives issued by the excise department asking bars.
The economy is down, and the tourism industry is also facing challenges.

At this time, if the government starts burdening the smalltime bar and tavern owners with rigid conditions then it will seriously affect their business, he said in a press note issued here.
