The Excise Department has refuted reports that the supply of alcohol will come to a halt from the 22nd of March.
The Department issued a statement clarifying reports on social media that the production of alcohol will come to a halt due to the shortage of ethanol owing to the shortage of fuel and power cuts.
The Excise Department statement added there are 23 licensed excise distilleries operating in the country that produce alcohol adding that the availability of ethanol and other raw materials required can be met owing to the availability in the local market.
