Odisha government Monday said it has so far not accepted the recommendation of the standing committee of the Excise Department which had suggested opening of more IMFL shops and rewarding successful licensed traders.
This was stated by Excise minister Niranjan Pujari while replying to a question of BJP member Mohan Majhi in the Assembly.
"The government has so far not accepted the recommendation of the standing committee report for opening more IMFL shops and rewarding licensed traders," he said.
The panel, which is headed by BJD MLA Subrat Tarai, sought more IMFL off shops to generate more revenue and to check illegal trafficking of spurious liquor.
The committee said the traders who meet the minimum guaranteed quantity (MGQ) fixed for the shop and cross it substantially, should be rewarded appropriately
