IN JAKHNIDHAR – NAVAKOT GARHWAL LIQUOR MAFIA AGENTS SELLING IMFL LIQUOR IN VILLAGES AND ROADSIDES ILLEGALLY , CAUGHT IN CAMERA
In Garhwal Uttarakhand several liquor mafias are active in smuggling and selling liquor of english brands on exorbitant rates in interior villages obviously in clandestine collaboration of the authorities, especually on roadsides.
The area police officials are conspicuous by their absence. Though there are english and indigenous wine shops in various parts of Garhwal, Uttarakhand but it becomes difficult for daily liquor drunkers to commute in the hills as they have to cover long distance and pay the to and fro bus charges. Therefore the home delivery by the liquor mafia agents is the best option for the drunkers.
A video has been posted in social media exhibiting an agent of a liquor mafia supplying / selling IMFL liquor including bear etc on motorcycle on roadsides near villages at JAKHNIDHAR NAVAKOT in Garhwal, Uttarakhand.
According to the video a young boy on his motorcycle comes on this stretch daily four five times bringing half, quater and full bottles of IMFL whisky including bear and sell them at exorbitant prices to people in the villages and roadsides.
This trade of smuggling of liquor in the villages and roadsides at JAKHNIDHAR Navakotand selling them to the villagers has vitiated the atmosphere of this area and women are especually worried.
After being caught on the media the young man supplying illegally the whisky bottles have said that he won’t come again. However, the You tuber asked him to show his bag , face and found several quaters, half and full bottles of whisky sold daily in the villages and roadsides.
Though the Uttarakhand government during the tenure of Trivendra Singh Rawat, CM, the had become quite liberal opening liquor shops in large numbers in cities, towns and markets in village areas as it considered the liquor sales as the only major source of income helping Uttarakhand government earn Rs 4000 crores annually.
Even the general stores owners with a turnover of Rs fifty lakhs annually were accorded license to sell liquor creating quite an uproar and opposition in the public.
Despite this the liquor smuggling in interior villages is in the spike, the reason being that the IMFL liquor is mixed with water or cheap liquor and sold after repacking earning handsomely.
