Daily consumption of five thousand boxes
If we talk about the consumption of country liquor in Azamgarh district, then there are about five thousand boxes. One box holds 45 packs. In such a situation, it can be understood that there is a huge demand for country liquor in the district. This is the reason why people keep trying their hands in the illegal liquor business every day. Two major incidents also took place in the district in a year in which a large number of people died. In such a situation, now the administration is engaged in trying to stop the illegal business of liquor through Tetra Pack.
Excise officer said it will not be misused
Talking to Dainik Bhaskar, District Excise Officer Anoop Kumar Sharma says that earlier the sale of country liquor was done in the shops. And misuse of those powers was possible. People doing illegal liquor business used to buy bottles from Kabadi’s place and sell them in the market after using the lid to make illegal liquor. Because of which incidents happened every day. But now country liquor will be sold in tetra packs only. Excise officer says that after opening the treta pack pouch, it will not be misused, and this will definitely stop illicit liquor makers.
