Dear Sir,

The tragedy in Kallakurichi district claimed at least 34 lives and hospitalized many, raising serious concerns in Tamil Nadu. Despite legal liquor sales within specified hours, the incident highlights the persistent issue of illicit alcohol, where bootleggers often adulterate with dangerous substances like methanol.

Initially underplaying the situation, authorities later confirmed methanol’s role, exposing a flourishing illegal alcohol trade allegedly involving politicians and law enforcement.

The recurrence of such tragedies necessitates urgent measures to dismantle illicit alcohol networks, ensuring public safety and holding accountable those responsible in Tamil Nadu.
