Dimoria unit secretary of the Asom Cha Jajati Chantra Santha Raju Gorait said in this connection: “This factory being constructed against the welfare of the people residing in the locality will have to be closed at any cost. Legal action should also be taken against those who are behind the setting up of the liquor factory.”

Meanwhile, the local people squarely blame it on Khetri Gaon Panchayat president Anu Rongson Doley for issuing the NOC for the liquor factory without taking the people of the locality into confidence.

On the other hand, an Excise  team led by Deputy Superintendent Amarendra th conducted a raid in the Dimoria area and arrested as many as 16 people associated with the business of illicit liqour in the area. The team also destroyed a number of local liquor dens.
