Talking to The Tribune, Parmar said they held a detailed meeting over joint operations to be conducted to curtail illicit liquor trade. “Combing and search operations are already underway in the entire state to put the accused behind bars,” he said.
Joint operations with the Excise Department would be done to check the entire nexus. “Whether the liquor was siphoned from tankers or distilleries, everything is being investigated threadbare,” he said. He said earlier the thrust was on drug peddling in the state and this was undercurrent. Now that the problem had come to the fore, appropriate steps were being taken to stop it. Meanwhile, the Amritsar rural police today arrested 10 bootleggers and smashed two illegal distilleries running in villages.
