NEW DELHI: Punjab’s Bhagwant Mann government on Monday conceded before the Supreme Court that the state faces a big challenge in tackling large number of illegal liquor manufacturing units and said though it has shut down over 13,000 such units in the past two months, new ones have sprung up.
Senior advocate Ajit Sinha, appearing for the Punjab government, made strenuous attempts to dispel the impression of a bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar that “illegal liquor brewing units appear to be in every nook and corner of the state”.
