Guwahati, August 6: Beer bars will soon serve liquor in Assam. The state government has allowed licenced bars to serve alcohol in compliance with guidelines issued in the wake of coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. An order in this regard was issued by the state excise department on Thursday. Bars with licenses will be allowed to serve liquor, adhering to strict COVID-19 guidelines and social distancing norms, said the order.
The order stated that all (Indian made foreign liquor) IMFL "ON" shops would be allowed to remain open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
