Chandigarh, April 3
Leader of the Opposition Partap Bajwa on Wednesday accused the government of violating the Supreme Court’s guidelines to stop illegal liquor trade in the state.
“The government failed to comply with the SC guidelines and, consequently, 21 people from different villages of Sangrur district died by consuming contaminated liquor last month,” Bajwa added.
