Pinarayi Vijayan: Kerala considering opening pubs

Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan indicated that the government was considering opening pubs in the state.
Since 2016, the CPI(M) government has been easing the state’s liquor policy, contrary to the prohibition applied by the previous Congress government.
The idea to open pubs comes after the government’s decision to give licence for small breweries that want to make wine and low-alcohol content liquor from locally available fruits.
The CM said better facilities would be introduced at retail liquor outlets run by state enterprises.
Steps are taken to ease the hardship faced by consumers, who are forced to stand in long queues.
