Liquor outlets in Gautam Budh Nagar will operate until 11 pm on December 30 and 31 to accommodate New Year celebrations. The district administration's decision, aligned with the UP Excise Policy, aims to facilitate regulated sales and prevent incidents. Officials have instructed license holders to adhere to the extended hours, with strict monitoring and potential penalties for violations. The move follows the issuance of 176 temporary licenses in December, contributing to state revenue.
