Tamil Nadu and Kerala joining hands
to ensure no flow of spirit across the border is a welcome step.
It is known to
all that a huge quantity of spirit flows Kerala from TN through deceitful
agents who supply it illegally to toddy shops and other outlets. The toddy
mixed with spirit is a lethal liquor and is fatal to people who consume it.
At Onam days legally functioning toddy shops too will sell
adulterated toddy for making high profit and hence Excise-Police surveillance
is needed to contain the illicit liquor sale. More
just officers should be posted to inspect the toddy shops and bars to avoid any
liquor tragedy during Onam season. Measures should be taken to see that there
is no illegal transport of spirit into Kerala from TN and Karanataka. The
vehicles moving between Kerala and other states should be regularly checked and
if found guilty stringent action should be taken against vehicle owners. Utmost
care should be taken to see that smuggling of spirit should be story of times of yore in this Onam days.
