Udaipur, April 9, 2026 (Udaipur Kiran): Following the directions of Excise Commissioner Namit Mehta, excise enforcement teams conducted a special preventive drive across the state to curb illegal liquor manufacturing, storage, transportation, and sale.
The action was carried out under the supervision of Additional Excise Commissioner (Policy) Pradeep Singh Sangawat and Additional Excise Commissioner (Administration) Anil Kumar Sharma, adopting a zero-tolerance approach against illegal activities and liquor smuggling from other states.
During the drive, teams carried out patrolling, barricading, and raids in Hanumangarh and Banswara districts.
