A REPORTER

SHILLONG: Police seized an ambulance carrying liquor bottles on Saturday night. Unlike Assam, the State government is yet to open liquor outlets and hence illegal sale is thriving. According to the police, while a police team from Byrnihat outpost was enforcing the total curfew in the district, they intercepted one ambulance and on checking, it was found to be loaded with IMFL. The ambulance belongs to Umran Niangbyrnai village. Police said after necessary legal formalities, the ambulance and 21 cartons of IMFL loaded in the vehicle were seized. In this connection, a non-FIR case has been registered.
