UNIFORMITY IN LEGAL AGE OF DRINKING IN DELHI:


Alcohol intake, legal drinking age in India, and uniformity in legal drinking age in India have all been contentious and contentious issues in India. According to a recent survey, per capita alcohol consumption in India has more than doubled between 2016 and 2020. Moreover, despite alcohol bans in some states across the country, over 88 percent of Indians under the age of 25 purchase or drink alcoholic beverages. According to India's current alcohol laws, each state has the authority to enact its own legislation. This has caused a great deal of uncertainty in the minds of Indian people, as well as widespread diversification.
The Delhi government declared that the national capital's legal drinking age has been reduced from 25 to 21. In addition, the government has stated that no new liquor stores will be opened in the area. “There will be no government liquor stores in Delhi,” deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said at a press conference about the cabinet-approved amendments to the excise policy. While Sisodia claimed that the main goal of the new policy is to deter tax and duty evasion, the announcement made during the press conference elicited a flurry of reactions online.
Among other metropolitan cities, hard liquor is banned for those under 25 in Mumbai allowing only wine and beer. While nearly 60 per cent of the 28 states and eight Union territories in India allow the sale of liquor to those above 21 years old, Delhi is among the five states and Union territories that banned the sale to people below 25 years of age. The others being Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

The police have enormous power, but they have begun to abuse it. The Police Act of 1861 mentions the police's powers. A police officer's main or primary responsibility is to represent and protect the public from wrongdoers. It was once a strong and powerful concept, but it has deteriorated over time.
