To check the illicit supply of liquor in their village, a group of village elders at Jui Khurd in Bhiwani has decided to hand over the suppliers to the police.

The village elders said they would also summon the violators and seek a public apology from them. “After issuing a warning, we will impose some kind of social punishment too,” they said. Jui Khurd villagers said some unscrupulous elements were indulging in home delivery of liquor, which is illegal. The illicit supply of liquor had not only vitiated the atmosphere in the village but had also led to a clash between two groups of suppliers.

Ramesh Kumar, husband of village sarpanch Roopmati, said the supply of liquor had become a problem in the village. “Unfortunately, village youths were also getting associated with such elements, who are a negative influence on society,” he said.

Kumar maintained that Jui Khurd villagers had held a meeting to decide that social action should also be taken against anyone found in possession of illicit liquor.
