PATNA: The Patna high court has expressed its displeasure over the absence of any mechanism to identify liquor smugglers in Bihar, leading to “flourishing gangs and economic offences due to rampant illicit liquor trade”.
The court has also sought a report from the Bihar State Pollution Control Board (BSPCB) chairman regarding any adverse impact of destruction of liquor on soil. The order was passed on March 29, but uploaded to the HC website on Wednesday.
