Kerala Excise Minister M Liju announced that bar licences will not be renewed for hotels whose star classification applications have been rejected by the Union Tourism Ministry. The state government will maintain this stance in pending Kerala High Court cases. Star classification is mandatory for bar licence renewal, but Covid-19 caused delays. Previously, licences were renewed with state Tourism Department approval during delays.
