Mylavaram zone assistant commissioner of police (ACP) KVVNV Prasad and excise superintendent Narayana Swamy personally supervised the operation. Addressing the media, Mylavaram ACP Prasad complimented the SEB staff for putting in the efforts and asked them to continue their good work and ensure that there is no smuggling of liquor or brewing of illicit-distilled liquor.
He explained that they have taken action on illegal liquor coming from outside the state, especially from villages close to the border. “We have been taking action for the last two years and conducting raids at border check posts. We have always taken action on information and reduced the smuggling,” he said.
