In an attempt to tackle the issue of over-pricing of liquor in Dehradun, District Magistrate Savin Bansal conducted a surprise inspection of a liquor shop and found several irregularities, including charging higher rates for liquor. The employee had no idea that he was selling alcohol to the DM, resulting in a challan of Rs 50,000 being issued against the shop. This is not the first time that the DM has taken action to improve the functioning of government institutions, making him known for his strict and aggressive style of work.
