have gone slow, and the kingpins behind the factory have not been caught as yet,” he alleged. Advertisement Thakur accused the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) of being involved in the case

which is why the action has been stalled. He asked who was protecting this massive liquor factory and why. “The factory had material worth hundreds of crores for manufacturing liquor and 230

cases of whisky were seized, along with 3.95 lakh labels for English liquor and 42,000 labels for desi liquor,” he alleged, adding around 20 to 22 unauthorized employees were found working

at the factory. Advertisement The leader of the Opposition demanded that the government should take immediate action against the kingpins behind the factory and ensure that they are brought

to justice. He emphasized that the government should take strict action against those involved in such large-scale illegal activities and ensure that the rule of law is upheld. Thakur also

criticized the state government for charging women application fees for government jobs, stating that his government had waived off such fees for women in the past. Advertisement
