With Holi approaching, the Badaun administration is on high alert to prevent the sale of adulterated and illegal liquor. In anticipation of the festival, the Excise Department, administration, and police recently conducted a series of raids on liquor shops, causing panic among illegal liquor sellers. 

Disputes may arise during the festival

The authorities are aware of the potential for increased disputes and quarrels during the festival, often resulting from excessive drinking of alcohol. Therefore, the inspections were carried out to curtail the use of liquor.

Surprise inspections conducted at liquor shops

Under the District Magistrate’s orders, teams were led by the Deputy District Magistrate and the Excise Inspector, who conducted surprise inspections at liquor shops. The inspections sent a clear message to liquor sellers that the administration would take strict action against anyone found selling illegal liquor.

The investigation teams warned shops selling English liquor, beer, and country liquor of the consequences of selling illegal liquor.

Complaints of illegal liquor sales

Complaints are often received during the Holi festival, with such liquor being harmful to the body. The District Magistrate formed the teams in response to these complaints and checked all the shops in the district. 

Inspections done by the District Magistrate and Excise Department

During the inspections, the District Magistrate and Excise Department officials also made the public aware of the harmful effects of liquor sold at illegal vending. They appealed to the public not to purchase liquor from illegal shops or grocery stores and to immediately inform the administration of any information related to illegal liquor sales. 

As a result of the campaign, illegal liquor sellers in the district were left in a state of panic. The inspection teams informed model shops selling English liquor and beer shops that the administration would take strict action against any seller of illegal liquor.

Conclusion 

Badaun administration is taking a strong stance against those who sell illegal liquor. Anyone found selling adulterated or illegal liquor during this time will face strict legal action. The authorities also urged the public to celebrate the festival responsibly and refrain from excessive drinking to maintain peace and harmony in the community.
