In a significant move against illegal alcohol, the Excise Department in Bihar’s Gopalganj area demolished more than 12,000 liters of liquor. The operation involved the destruction of Indian and foreign liquor valued at crores of rupees using bulldozers under high security. This initiative was a collaborative effort between the Excise Department and Bihar Police, targeting seized liquor from various police stations.
The disposal process simultaneously eliminated around 12,000 liters of liquor seized in close to 100 cases, comprising 20 excise cases and 80 police station cases. To ensure transparency and prevent reuse or illegal circulation, the seized liquor was transported to designated sites where it was destroyed using bulldozers. Excise Superintendent Amitesh Kumar Jha confirmed the destruction of the liquor, emphasizing the operation’s value in terms of market worth and the ongoing commitment to such actions under police and magistrate supervision.
The operation was meticulously supervised at the Balthari check post in the Kuchaykot police station area and near airports under the Mirganj police station. The Excise Department highlighted its continuous efforts against illegal liquor in the district, emphasizing periodic destruction of seized alcohol as per legal requirements. Despite Bihar’s prohibition on liquor, smugglers persist in illegal supply attempts, making the joint actions by the Excise Department and police a stern warning to illicit traders. The Gopalganj administration’s destruction of over 12,000 liters of illegal liquor reaffirms its dedication to enforcing prohibition laws rigorously in the future.
