Delhi Launches Online Liquor Booking App with 48-Hour Pickup, No Home Delivery
Delhi's government launched the 'Delhi Liquor Booking' app, allowing consumers aged 25 and above to book and pay for liquor online from 208 DSIIDC-operated outlets. Customers must collect their orders within 48 hours, as home delivery is not available. The app aims to reduce queues, improve transparency, and ease payment processes. While officials highlight convenience benefits, the Aam Aadmi Party has criticized the scheme as 'anti-people' and threatened protests demanding its withdrawal. The app's expansion depends on consumer response.
