Hyderabad News: Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy has informed that all establishments except liquor shops, will now run in Hyderabad till 1 am. Informing about this in the state assembly on Friday, he said that the liquor shops will be shut down in time.

"Daru ke mai khilaf hu, jitni jada khula rakhenge log peeyenge (I am against liquor, people will keep consuming alcohol as long as it is allowed to remain open)," the chief minister said while making the announcement.

CM Reddy stated that he called a meeting with commissioners and had discussed this proposal last week.

"All establishments except liquor shops are allowed to remain open till 1 am in Hyderabad," the CM said.

The move comes after Hyderabad police in June clarified that the social media news making rounds that city police are closing shops by 10.30 pm or 11 pm is misleading.

"The recent social media news making rounds that city police are closing shops by 10.30 or 11 pm are totally misleading. The shops and establishments will open/close as per the already existing rules only. Hence the same may be noted by all," the Hyderabad City Police said in a post on X.

Several media reports before this claimed that an order was issued for the commercial establishments asking them to close by 11 pm. However, there was no official order in this regard but the reports sparked anger as people took to X questioning the reasoning behind the same.
