Decision taken to strengthen the intelligence network
A decision was taken to strengthen the intelligence network and take stringent action against police officers if illegal liquor is seized in their jurisdiction at a seven-hour review meeting on prohibition by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar with his Cabinet Ministers and other top officials on Tuesday.
Besides a vigorous campaign on prohibition in the State, police and Excise and Prohibition Department officials would also launch a special drive against the reports of home delivery of liquor in Patna, said officials.
“In our meeting today, it was decided to strengthen the intelligence network and take strong action against officers under whose jurisdiction illegal liquor is seized. If the central team from Patna conducts raid and seizes illegal liquor from a place, the concerned inspector of the police station and the chowkidar [watchman] will be suspended immediately,” Director-General of Police (DGP) S.K. Singhal told presspersons after the meeting. Principal Home Secretary Chaitanya Prasad and other Home Department officials were also present.
