Poor people of Kerala are destined to die drinking hooch.

Poor people of Kerala are destined to die drinking hooch made and sold by guilty liquor mafias. The death of 22 persons due to liquor-poisoning in Malappuram district was a tragedy sponsored by Excise Department of Kerala. The tragedy of this sort will go on with if Government is to continue the nexus with liquor mafia.

It is known to all that several thousands of gallons of killer brew are being sold as toddy in all the districts of Kerala and it is meaningless to suspend sale of toddy in Malappuram alone. Instead toddy sale should be banned in all districts as the same toddy from Chittur, Palakkad is distributed in all the 14 districts. What people get to drink as toddy is poison, but the illiterate poor people think it is of no harm even if they die after drinking it.
It is awful to see the minister in charge Excise Mr Gurudasan has no guilt of conscience.
