Serious charge of supplying ethyl alcohol to spurious liquor:
According to Excise Commissioner Hari Chandra Semwal, such a thing is coming to the fore through the police that the ethyl alcohol prepared at the IGL distillery in Kashipur is also being supplied for making spurious liquor. Because, ethyl alcohol from the distillery is sent through trucks to various places across the country.
In such a situation, it is suspected that ethyl alcohol was also being provided somewhere in between for making illegal country liquor. In the notice sent to IGL, it has been said that according to the rules, the quantity and intensity of spirit is mentioned on the transport pass and it is transported in a sealed manner.
It is the responsibility of the concerned distillery. From the facts that are coming out, it seems that the spirit was being provided to illegal country liquor manufacturers in the middle of the way without reaching the destination safely. It has also been said in the notice why the license of the distillery should not be canceled for this act. The distillery management has been asked to respond within three days.
