Although the Ministry of Finance has given its clearance to online ordering and distribution of liquor to households in Sri Lanka, it has not been approved by National Operation Centre for Prevention of COVID-19 Outbreak.
The policy approval of the Ministry of Finance for the decision to distribute liquor given to Excise Commissioner yesterday was granted subject to the approval of NOCPCO.
NOCPCO Chief, Army Commander General Shavendra Silva said his committee has rejected the proposal.
