Last month, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights found 58 children working illegally at factory following which police are probing the use of child labour at distillery.
NCPCR chairperson had inspected premises of liquor factory in Raisen & posted a photo of a child's hands with shriveled skin. District collector says medical exam is underway & probe is on.
AAP government had announced closure of liquor factory on 17 January, but written orders are yet to come. Four expert panels are looking into allegations of pollution.
The factory, which has been shut since 24 July, had moved court for relief. Judge says question was not if the water is polluted or not but whether factory is causing pollution.
Since the bulk of citizens did not regard drinking as a crime, they had no respect for the prohibition laws and did not cooperate with the police, wrote MV Venkata Rao in 1962.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
