Imphal, January 24 2022:
Continuing its anti-drug drive, a special team of Coalition Against Drugs & Alcohol (CADA) seized 200 litres of IMFL and locally brewed liquor from Takyel Khongbal and in front of Langjing Achouba CRPF gate on Monday.
The liquor consignments were seized from Maibam Buno (48), son of M Indrakumar of Takyel Khongbal; Laishram Ibetombi, wife of L Sobha of Takyel Khongbal; Yumnam Roshanta (27), son of Y Muhindro of Patsoi Part I and Thongam Sarat (50), son of Th Samu of Langjing Achouba.
The seized liquor were later disposed of at Takyel Khongbal.
In a release, CADA pointed out that several liquor manufacturing units are in operation under different labels despite Manipur being a 'dry state' .
While expressing suspicion that the government might be aiding in setting up such units, CADA said such clandestine operations demonstrate that the government is neither sincere in cracking down on nefarious activities not concerned about saving the life of the people, particularly the youth from addictive substances.
