Thoubal, June 20 2023:
Meira paibis at Khangabok seized 150 litres of liquor from an Alto car that was heading towards Kakching from Andro early this morning.
The womenfolk consequently disposed of the recovered liquor by setting it ablaze.
A meira paibi identified as Muhini stated that meira paibis of the area had united to guard the village day and night and conduct checks on the vehicles passing through the area.
These measures were undertaken in light of the volatile situation in the State that is prevailing as a result of the ongoing conflict, she said.
Continuing further, Muhini strongly denounced the act of some traders of transporting/trading intoxicants when the State is in the grips of a war-like crisis and the citizens are suffering considerably.
Asserting that 'narcotics' have played a big role in creating the present turmoil that has affected two communities, she strongly appealed for an end to such trade.
