Illegal liquor sale rises in Bajali district

A CORRESPONDENT

PATHSALA: The sale of illegal liquor has increased in Patacharkuchi NH-31, especially after closing hours which is harmful to society. "After closing hours at night, some businessmen of Patacharkuchi are allegedly selling liquor without any bar license near NRL petrol pump which is very dangerous for night riders," said Hemanta Talukdar, president of Hindu Parishad.

"Trucks and private cars are seen parked in front of the restaurant near the petrol pump to buy alcohol during this ongoing Raax Mahatsov held in Patacharkuchi, Pathsala, Helona, Bhagmara in Bajali district.

Drinking and driving poses a big risk after dark. The use of alcohol during night time driving on National Highway may affect recovery from glare leading to increased traffic accidents," Talukdar added. Talukdar also said, "I appeal to the Bajali district administration and police administration and Excise department to take action against such activities."
