Our country never fails to surprise us, one day or the other we have news that just either leaves the public in awe or downright angry. Recently, ‘sharaab’ is set to become available at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport after approval of a summary sent to Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar and people have something to say!

According to reports, Punjab Excise and Taxation Department, police and district administration have issued no objection certificates to Unicorn Prestige Limited, a company that had applied for a sharaab license in the name of Royal Swiss International. Interesting? Let us give you some more information about this.

Currently, only four hotels in the city are authorized liquor sellers with L2 licenses, which includes Avari Hotel, Holiday Inn, Pearl Continental Hotel, and Ambassador Hotel.

Moreover, after the CM’s agreement, the company will be allowed to sell sharaab at the Lahore airport. Although according to Pakistan’s laws, only non-Muslim citizens and non-Muslim foreigners will be allowed to purchase and consume liquor with the help of permits.

The company is likely to establish a duty-free shop to sell alcohol at the Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore. Additionally, reports claim that the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers pushed for the issuance of NOCs and summary.
