The recovery includes 31 cartons of liquor that were found lacking the government-mandated track and trace system—a vital regulation introduced to ensure product authenticity, monitor movement and protect public health.
After three deaths reported in Sanyas Nagar at Noorwala road reportedly caused by spurious liquor, the excise department seized a substantial stock of illicit liquor during a raid, unearthing 223 cartons without mandatory regulatory compliance.
The recovery includes 31 cartons of liquor that were found completely lacking the government-mandated track and trace system—a vital regulation introduced to ensure product authenticity, monitor movement and protect public health. Among the non-compliant stock were nine cartons of Dollar XXX Rum (PML 65 Degree) and 22 cartons of Royal Stag IMFL, both labeled “For Sale in Punjab Only,” now under scrutiny for being part of a suspected illegal distribution racket.
