An RTI
activist, Amit Saini, has claimed that four liquor vendors were operating their
business without licences in Nayagon.
Saini said he
had sought information under the RTI Act about the number of vends in Nayagaon,
Karoran, Nada and Kansal village. "The reply filed by officials stated
that there were only two licenced vendors in Nayagaon, and one each in the
other three villages," Saini said. But when Saini conducted his own
investigation, he claimed four liquor vends were found to be running in
Nayagaon.
"It is
surprising that unlicenced liquor vendors are running their business in the
middle of the market. The police are also aware about the fact. The government
must take action as it is a very serious problem for residents of
Nayagaon," said Saini.
Baljeet Kaur,
assistant excise and taxation officer, said, "I have to look into the
documents. If any illegal action is found, action will be taken."
