The Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi has given the operator of a new liquor‑booking app 24 hours to withdraw the service, citing its poor functionality.
Delhi’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government launched a digital platform that allows residents to book liquor online. Within days of its rollout, users reported frequent glitches, failed transactions and an overall inability to complete orders.
Consumer complaints poured in on social media and the city’s grievance portal, prompting officials to investigate the app’s performance. In a statement, the government said the service was not meeting the standards expected by citizens.
Consequently, the AAP administration issued a notice to the app’s developer, ordering the withdrawal of the platform within 24 hours. The directive also warned that any further non‑compliance could attract legal action.
The move reflects the government’s broader push to ensure digital services are reliable and user‑friendly, especially in sectors like alcohol retail where transparency is crucial.
