Excise Department to set up touchscreen kiosks

The Excise Department will set up touch screen kiosks across the state soon to make the public aware of the availability and details of various brands of foreign liquor sold through the outlets of the Kerala State Beverages Corporation.

As in the Police Department, the government will soon issue an order to change the designation of the Excise guards to Excise civil officers.
