Ranchi, May 13 (TIWN) The Jharkhand government is planning to open liquor shops in green and orange zones of the state, sources in the government said.

“As the state government may extend the lockdown further in view of the spike in coronavirus positive cases in the state, the excise department has also taken the initiative to open up liquor sale in the state but we will have to work out a way to ward off crowds of people at the liquor shops," a senior excise department official told The Telegraph.
