Imphal, Feb 10: In a very surprising move, volunteers of Coalition Against Drugs and Alcohol (CADA) today conducted liquor drive at the liquor vendors near Mapal Kangjeibung and seized at least 300 litres of foreign made Indian liquors including local brew from the liquor vendors.
Speaking to the media persons, T Geetchandra, Finance Secretary of CADA said that the organisation conducted the drive after a well plan and going thoroughly at the areas where liquors are being sold openly though they doesn’t have to conduct such drives to stop illegal sale of liquor at such area which is in the heart of the city.
Such drive should be conducted by Police and Excise department and those agencies who can implement the liquor act, however, the drive was necessarily conducted by CADA to stop the sale of liquors in such the area of Mapal Kangjeibung and the government and concern department should be shame of it, he added.
Geetchandra also said that todays’ drive is just the beginning although in the future CADA appeals the government and concern department to take up the necessary legal action to those illegal liquor vendors located in and around Mapal Kangjeibung area or even vandalizing their shop in order to discontinue the sale of liquors.
