Police in Amritsar recovered 1,800 litres of illegal liquor from a government tank facility, marking a significant crackdown on illicit alcohol distribution.
Police officers in Amritsar conducted a raid on a government tank facility and seized 1,800 litres of illegal liquor. The liquor, which had been produced and stored without proper licensing, was found in large containers within the tank premises. The operation was carried out under the authority of the local law‑enforcement agency.
The seized stock is believed to have been destined for black‑market sale, and its removal is part of a broader effort to curb the circulation of illicit alcohol in the region. Authorities have stated that the confiscated liquor will be destroyed to prevent any further misuse.
Officials have urged the public to report any suspicious alcohol production activities. The raid underscores the ongoing crackdown on illegal liquor manufacturing and distribution in Punjab.
