A gang is engaged in this business against the law, claiming that bootleg liquor mixed with methanol gives extra intoxication.

People who are addicted to this irreversible addiction are also becoming customers of counterfeit alcohol. It has been revealed that such counterfeiting business is continuing in Kallakurichi area. Many people have died as a result.
Many others are being treated in hospitals in critical condition. We urge the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu to take appropriate measures to implement complete prohibition of alcohol considering the future of Tamil Nadu.
