As empowered in Article-47 of the Constitution of India, the Endeavor of the Government has been to ensure that the existing demand is met by legitimate and safe supply of reasonable quality of liquor. Any short supply of legitimate liquor is bound to result in bootlegging/ spurious liquor for filling up the gap, which would endanger public safety.
