Even the families of the two persons who died in Tarn Taran yesterday and three who died in Bholath have given a statement saying spurious liquor is freely available in their villages. The tentacles of the hooch traders are increasing day by day and now have reached the Doaba region also after flourishing in Majha and the Patiala-Khanna- Ludhiana belt earlier”. Bikram Majithia detained | Raj Bhawan Chandigarh police | Punjab Hooch tragedy The SAD leader said that people were continuing to die after consuming spurious liquor because the government had not taken any action against distilleries who were accused of supplying spirit to the liquor mafia. He said until the distilleries involved in smuggling denatured spirit to mafia elements were not sealed and exemplary action was not taken against their managements for abetting murder, such tragedies will continue.
