Nowgong (Chhatarpur): Superintendent of police Amit Sanghi may have launched a drive against illegal sale of liquor, but the drive seems to have no impact on the Naugaon area where liquor sells at every square. The situation has come to such a pass that liquor is sold from tea, beetle and grocery shops.
Now only that, liquor is supplied to homes of drunkards. A large number of youths supply cartons of liquor to tea and beetle shops, but the police turned a blind eye to it. Likewise, the excise department does not take any action against the liquor mafia. As soon as the evening falls, drunkards begin to gather around kiosks.
Many people consume liquor sitting outside those shops. As a result, women cannot pass by those shops. Because of the sale of liquor, incidents of crime are increasing in the area which is adjacent to UP.
