DELHI: Delhi government has decided to impose a 70 percent ‘Special Corona Fee’ on the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) of liquor in the national capital effective May 5, according to news agency PTI quoting sources.
The decision has been taken in order to boost government revenue, which has been hit hard due to the coronavirus-forced lockdown.
