The Kerala government has decided to issue special passes for drinkers, who have withdrawal symptoms and doctor’s prescription, to purchase liquor from the Excise department.

A Government Order in this regard was issued on Monday night, despite objection from doctors’ association, to supply liquor to drinkers under prescription during the 21-day lockdown initiated to counter the spread of Covid-19.

“Following the lockdown and the closure of liquor outlets in the state, there were many instances of social issues including the frustration and suicide tendencies shown by those who used to consume liquor regularly and the state government has decided to initiate steps to resolve the matter,” the order read.

The order said that those who have physical and mental issues due to withdrawal symptoms could be given liquor in a “controlled” and “prescribed” manner.

It also says that such persons with withdrawal symptoms should approach the Public Health Centres, Taluk hospitals, district hospitals, general hospitals or the medical college hospitals and get themselves examined by the doctor.

“If such a person gets a prescription from the doctors saying he has withdrawal symptoms, he could be provided with liquor in a controlled manner,” the order read.

It said the prescription could be produced at the nearby Excise office along with a government issued identity card of the person carrying the prescription and receive a liquor pass.
