(28/11/2017) Greater Noida:
It isn’t every day that you witness large amount of liquor bottles being thrown into streets and destroyed by women. But sometimes unimaginable happens when public patience crosses its pinnacle.
Something similar happened in Greater Noida’s Astauli Village where Men and Women, both young and old came out in hordes on the streets and confiscated what seemed to be a large consignment of illegally smuggled liquor. The alcohol washed streets were converted into a huge dumping ground of broken bottles. The anger among the women of the village was clearly visible and the message was apparent.
One protesting lady said, “In last few months there has been a continuous onslaught of illegally smuggled liquor in the village. This variety of alcohol would be available at cheaper cost and would not only make the young generation addicted but lately have been making many of them severely diseased”.
Another youth from the village claims that more than half of the young generation in the region is now under liquor addiction. This cheaply available smuggled liquor is also manufactured with very low quality by product and the side-effects become visible very soon. The families are getting destroyed because of it and this is why there was a great undercurrent regarding this regularly increasing menace.
Being one of the greatest producers of liquor around the world, India manufactures 65% of the liquor and imports about 7% of liquor in the world, and this data pertains only to the recorded liquor production.
District Gautam Buddha Nagar which borders both Haryana and Delhi is very prone to liquor smuggling. In lieu of the Municipal Elections that took place on 26th November the border checking has been intensified in last few weeks and many small to medium sized consignments of illegal liquor were seized. However sources reveal that organized smuggling business in the region hasn’t had much effect because of the election and with the intensified scrutiny period over now, the illegal business is back to being normal.
