People of the state are economically poor and some of them are involved in this illegal business to earn some money. They choose wrong methods to make liquor and sell it in the market. The poor consumer buys such liquor as it is available at a low price and becomes a victim of spurious liquor, an officer of the Anti Liquor Task Force said.
The manufacturing of country made liquor using mahua, rice etc is frequent in rural as well as urban areas. They used ammonium chloride (Nausadar) excessively in a bid to make the liquor more strong.
