Withcoming into force from mid-November, no liquor vends will open in 105 of the 272 municipal wards of Delhi from October 1, officials said on Monday.
Under the new excise policy of the city government, retail liquor sale licences have already been in 32 zones, each having around 10 wards and 27 liquor vends.
