The opening of more outlets of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and resto-bars in residential areas has led to an outcry from sections of residents across the city. In several areas, residents are up in arms against the government’s decision to open more outlets and resto-bars in the dwelling areas. The department had issued around 40 permits for bars and resto-bars in the recent months under the tourism category, he said.
