Dhalbhum SDO Joins Excise Department in Seizing Java Mahua and Illicit Liquor

JAMSHEDPUR – A substantial crackdown on illicit alcohol production was executed in Jamshedpur, resulting in the confiscation of Java Mahua and illicit liquor from multiple locations.

In an extensive operation, officials stormed into Oraon Basti under Sitaramdera police station, discovering a large stash of illegal liquor at the residence of Durga Saav, who is now facing legal action.

Following the operation in Oraon Basti, the team conducted a raid in the remote forests of Sukhalda, where they found 40 drums of Java Mahua in hidden furnaces, leading to the dismantling of these illegal sites.
