50 Litres of Illegal Liquor Seized in Mahadevpur Crackdown
Namsai, June 29:
In a major crackdown on the illegal liquor trade, a joint enforcement team comprising officials from the Tax & Excise Department, Mahadevpur Police, and the General Administration carried out a coordinated inspection drive across Mahadevpur township on Monday. The operation was launched as part of the district administration's ongoing efforts to curb unlawful activities, strengthen law enforcement, and maintain public order.
The drive specifically targeted the illegal sale and distribution of Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) and beer. Acting on intelligence and routine enforcement measures, the joint team conducted thorough inspections at several suspected locations within the township to detect unauthorized storage and sale of liquor.
During the operation, officials seized approximately 50 litres of illegally stored IMFL and beer from various locations. The seized liquor was confiscated on the spot, and necessary legal proceedings have been initiated against those found violating the provisions of the Excise Act and other applicable laws.
Officials stated that the enforcement drive was aimed at ensuring strict compliance with excise regulations and eliminating the menace of bootlegging, which not only results in revenue loss to the government but also poses a serious threat to public safety and law and order.
The district administration emphasized that such coordinated enforcement drives will continue across Namsai district to prevent illegal liquor trade and deter individuals involved in unlawful activities. Authorities warned that strict action would be taken against anyone found manufacturing, storing, transporting, or selling liquor without valid authorization.
Reaffirming its commitment to maintaining a safe, lawful, and peaceful environment, Namsai Police urged citizens to extend their cooperation by promptly reporting any information related to the illegal sale, storage, or transportation of liquor. The police stated that public support remains crucial in ensuring effective enforcement and safeguarding the well-being of the community.
