    To reduce the sale of illicit alcohol, the Assam government intends to open more bars




     Digital Desk: The Assam government is facing additional criticism after
    deciding to provide new licences to more booze stores in the states. The
    opposition has blasted the decision as "an administration failure."




    The Congress has dubbed the move "unnecessary," despite the
    Bharatiya Janata Party-led government's claims that it is intended to preserve
    the health of regular drinkers by reducing the sale of illicit alcohol and
    create income.




    We have announced the opening of 20 new liquor stores across the state as
    a first step. According to state excise minister Parimal Suklabaidya, ten of
    those have already been assigned to new owners, and the process to open them
    all soon is under progress.



     



    He stated that the government is also undertaking a survey in every
    district to determine which areas have a dearth of authorized liquor stores and
    which areas have a large concentration of sales of illegal country-made brew
    known as "sulai." Additionally, the state intends to grant more
    liquor licences in the upcoming months.




    There are some places where there are no booze stores within 25 to 30
    kilometres. People who drink there often turn to illegal alcohol, which has an
    impact on their health and can even be fatal. To ensure that customers drink
    high-quality alcohol, more liquor stores are being opened, according to
    Suklabaidya.



     



    According to
    Suklabaidya, the initiative to construct new liquor stores will help combat the
    sale of alcohol that is smuggled into Assam from the neighbouring state of
    Arunachal Pradesh, even though efforts in recent years have been able to reduce
    the problem.



    "The minister
    himself is admitting the failure of the state police and administration in
    curbing the smuggling of liquor from Arunachal Pradesh and also their inability
    to stop the brewing and sale of illicit alcohol in Assam," opposition
    leader Debabrata Saikia said when confronting the BJP government about this.




    The move by the
    government, he continued, "is also in opposition to the fundamental
    principles of state policy entrenched in our Constitution, which urges the
    state to work toward the prohibition of intoxicating drinks, save for medicinal
    grounds."



    Along with roughly
    1,000 bars, Assam has approximately 1,200 licenced liquor stores that offer
    IMFL (Indian-made foreign liquor). Additionally, more than 300 stores lawfully
    market traditional brews. 44 distilleries in the state currently produce IMFL.

    According to Saikia,
    the administration intends to provide more licences just to increase revenue
    and close budget gaps.



    "I urge people
    not to drink alcohol since it has an impact on their finances, families, and
    health. However, some people will always choose to drink despite its negative
    effects. And what would be wrong if the government made money by selling
    alcohol to regular drinkers? asked Suklabaidya.



     



    In 2016, when the first BJP-led government assumed power,
    the revenue from the sale of alcohol increased from about Rs 400 crore yearly
    to about Rs 3,000 crore in the most recent fiscal year, according to government
    statistics.



    The rise in liquor tax, which ranged from 25% to 65%
    depending on brand, was also blamed for the increase in income.



     Suklabaidya stated that in addition to setting up new liquor
    stores, the government is also testing various traditional beers made by the
    state's indigenous populations in laboratories in order to mass-produce them
    under controlled circumstances and sell them to people lawfully.
