In an effort to combat the illegal liquor trade in Nagaland, the police have launched a series of raids targeting unauthorized alcohol production units and distribution networks. These operations have led to the seizure of large quantities of illegal liquor and the arrest of several individuals involved in the illicit trade. Despite the state’s partial prohibition, black market alcohol remains a widespread issue, often sold to underage individuals.
Authorities have vowed to intensify their efforts to disrupt the illegal liquor supply chain, focusing on the factories and distributors that facilitate this trade. Along with enforcement, police are also engaging with local communities to discourage the consumption of unregulated alcohol, which can pose significant health risks.
