After the formation of Chhattisgarh, government sold

liquor in Raipur, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Dhamtari and Mahasamund between 2001-2003, Agrawal said, adding that Chhattisgarh Beverage Corporation was constituted in 2002.

The revenue from liquor sale in the current fiscal was expected to reach at Rs 3300 crore, the minister said.

Agrawal also stated that the state government had undertaken a drive to shift 417 existing liqour shops in compliance of the SC order.

After Agrawal's reply, the Speaker rejected the adjournment motion notice. As the Congress MLAs kept shouting slogans, the Speaker adjourned the proceedings twice, and later the listed business was carried out amid ruckus.
