The recent relocation of the Excise Department office from Amguri has inadvertently facilitated a rise in illegal distillation activities, causing alarm among residents in Borbam, Borsila, Haluwating, and neighboring areas. These communities are urging authorities to intensify efforts to curb the burgeoning illegal alcohol trade, which poses economic and social threats to the region.
Simultaneously, activists from Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) and Chatra Mukti Sangram Samiti (CMSS) staged a fervent protest on Tuesday, February 18, outside the Amguri Revenue Circle Office in the Sivasagar district. The groups accuse National Brick Quarries of unlawful brick manufacturing within the Amguri Revenue Circle area, raising concerns over environmental and regulatory compliance.
This twin challenge of illegal alcohol production and unregulated industrial activity demands urgent governmental intervention. Local authorities face mounting pressure to address these pressing issues, ensuring community safety and adherence to legal standards. The unfolding situation highlights a critical need for concerted action and vigilance to uphold the law and protect community interests in the affected areas.
