Excise officials seize chemical substance used for adulterating toddy
As many as 30 people were taken ill after consuming adulterated toddy, all of them reported vomiting and other symptoms. They were shifted to a private hospital and were later discharged after they recovered.
The incident took place at Ousualapally on Friday night. While some of them become unconscious, others have showed other symptoms and all were admitted in a private hospital for treatment. Following the incident Excise officials conducted a house-to-house checking and seized 12 kilograms of a chemical substance used for adulterating the liquor from the house of a person who runs a toddy shop. Samples were collected and sent to lab for testing. Results were awaited. Officials admitted that selling of spurious toddy is rampant in the area.
“Those who complained of vomiting and other symptoms were admitted in a hospital. After treatment they were discharged. There was no casualty,” said District Medical and Health Officer (DM&HO) B. Venkateswara Rao.
The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
