With the Pola festival approaching, the excise department in Nagpur has stepped up efforts to stop the sale, smuggling and transport of illegal liquor. The department fears the illegal liquor trade could rise during the festival, which is why special teams have been formed.

On the occasion of Pola, large numbers of people step out of their homes to celebrate. Illegal liquor sellers could try to take advantage of this crowd and bustle to sell liquor without permission and move it from place to place. Anticipating this, the excise department has already prepared a full plan for surveillance and action.

The special teams will keep a close watch on places suspected of illegal liquor sale and smuggling activity. If a complaint is received about liquor being transported illegally or sold without permission anywhere, immediate action will be taken.

The department's challenge is to ensure that the supply of illegal liquor is stopped completely during the festival. The teams have been given clear instructions to investigate immediately on receiving information about any suspicious activity and not delay action where required.

The excise department has made it clear that strict action will be taken against those running an illegal liquor business under cover of the Pola festival. The purpose of deploying special teams is to effectively curb the sale and smuggling of illegal liquor during the festival.

The department's preparations make clear that this year, anyone attempting to run an illegal liquor business under cover of Pola celebrations will be closely watched. The scope of surveillance and action has been widened so that the festival can be conducted peacefully and safely.
