Imphal, December 14 2021:
In continuation of its drive against drugs and other intoxicants, CADA sieged and destroyed 200 liters of local liquor today at New Checkon area.
The Coalition Against Drug and Alcohol (CADA) said the local liquor which were bottled and labeled with various names including 'Chakpa Phayeng', 'Cha- mellei', 'Nokphet Nokphet', 'Leiyu' and 'Sekmai' were seized from three individuals; Mayengbam Pemma of Wangkhei Thangapat Mapal; Thangjam Subachandra of New Checkon and Mutum Jandhabi of New Checkon Mandhop Leikai.
With the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly election round the corner, instances of pre-poll violence involving people in inebriated condition have grown manifold during the last couple of weeks.
However, the Government has not taken up any step against the sale and consumption of intoxicants, CADA said in a statement issued today.
