Why is the Delhi Government considering lowering the legal drinking age for beer from 25 to 21 years?
To prevent revenue loss due to youth buying liquor in neighboring statesDelhi currently has the highest legal drinking age in the region at 25 years, while cities like Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad allow consumption at 21. This disparity leads many young people to travel outside Delhi to purchase liquor, resulting in significant excise revenue loss. A high-level committee led by PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma is reviewing the new excise policy and has received suggestions to lower the age for beer specifically. The proposal aims to retain consumer spending within Delhi while ensuring regulatory balance. No final decision has been made yet, but stakeholder consultations are ongoing.

What major reason led the Delhi Government to seek assistance from Haryana after the Mungeshpur drain embankment breach?
To pump out floodwater from Jharoda Kalan and Najafgarh areasOn Tuesday evening, a 50-foot embankment of the Mungeshpur drain breached, causing nearly five feet of water to inundate Geetanjali Enclave and parts of Jharoda Kalan village in Dwarka, affecting around 2,000 people. Although the breach was repaired with Haryana’s help, stagnant floodwater remained. Delhi officials stated that pumping operations using submersible pumps were slow and time-consuming. Hence, they formally requested Haryana to deploy additional manpower and pumps to accelerate water removal. Waiting for natural evaporation would take too long, posing health and safety risks. Temporary shelters were set up, and compensation processes were initiated via the CM’s Office.
