Bhubaneswar: Taking note of vehement protests over the decision to open foreign liquor shops in Bhubaneswar till late night during the Odisha Men’s Hockey World Cup, the Odisha government on Monday revised the schedule.
Informing the media here, Excise minister Sashi Bhusan Behera clarified that the decision to open the on-shop liquor joints in the capital city till 1.30 am was an ‘inadvertent error’.
