Andhra Pradesh: SEB officials crack the whip on black jaggery sale

SEB Anantapur

The Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) has launched a drive to check the sale of black jaggery for brewing illicitly distilled (ID) liquor in Anantapur and Sri Sathya Sai districts. The SEB officials confiscated 11,040 kg black jaggery during raids in Anantapur in May alone and destroyed 18,205 liters of ID liquor, along with the arrest of 275 persons in 259 cases.

SEB Additional Superintendent of Police J. Ram Mohan Rao told The Hindu that there were only seven licence holders for selling and stocking black jaggery in Anantapur district. “The SEB and other relevant agencies has launched a drive against those involved in stocking black jaggery illegally. We have asked the retailers in the suspect zones to share the names and phone numbers of the people who buy black jaggery in large quantities,” said Mr. Ram Mohan Rao.
