In a bid to curb the sale of illicit liquor and other intoxicants, the Uttar Pradesh Government on Tuesday said pending cases in this regard be disposed of quickly and the accused arrested at the earliest. The decision came against the backdrop of seven people dying in Chitrakoot district of the state after allegedly drinking spurious liquor. Following the incident, nine officials, including a sub-divisional magistrate and a circle officer, have been suspended and four people arrested.
