Kolleru lake, a famous tourist destination known for fishing and as a birds paradise, has of late become a safe haven for Illicitly Distilled (ID) liquor manufacturing. Police were shocked when they identified an ID liquor brewing unit in the middle of the lake on the borders of Krishna-West Godavari district.
More than 50 policemen led by Krishna district Superintendent of Police (SP) Siddharth Kaushal, Gudivada Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) N. Satyanandam and Kaikalur town CI Y.V.V.L. Naidu went into the lake and raided the unit, located about 3km from Pandiripalligudem village in Kaikalur Mandal.
Aided by satellite images and videos taken by drones, police travelled from Kaikalur to Pandiripalligudem by road, along with a media crew, local fishermen and Excise Department personnel. They took four boats from a wooden bridge (locally known as ‘karrala vantena’) to reach the spot located in thick bushes.
