Delhi Excise Department Auctions Seized Vehicles and Clears Laboratory Backlog
The Delhi Excise Department auctioned over 2,000 seized vehicles, generating more than Rs 5 crore and freeing up space at police stations and public land. Concurrently, it cleared a backlog of over 5,000 pending chemical analysis reports related to police cases, reducing active cases to zero. These measures aim to improve governance, expedite police investigations, and strengthen enforcement against illicit liquor. The department has recruited staff and is modernizing its laboratory to ensure faster processing of reports.
