Prohibition law gets more stringent - capital punishment for hooch criminals

Published By : Admin | July 16, 2009 | 09:37 IST

Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Gujarat Government have made amendments in Prohibition law. Government has used a stringent approach by introducing capital punishment for hooch criminals.

Gujarat is the first state to introduce capital punishment in prohibition law.

According to the new law a death statement can be pronounced for those found guilty in hooch crimes.

An inquiry commission has been asked to probe in and investigate the case of the recent past against the criminals of the hooch tragedy.

Criminals indulging in hooch business leading to deaths of people will get capital punishment. In any case, punishment will not be less than seven years.

The law would also have provision for one-year imprisonment for police officials responsible for hooch crimes or any serious offence related to Prohibition.

In Congress Government's rule in the past 25 such hooch incidents had taken place and cases against 354 criminals were filed but no serious steps were taken.

“ശ്രീ മന്നത്തു പത്മനാഭനെ അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ ജന്മവാർഷികത്തിൽ അനുസ്മരിക്കുന്നു. സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ ഉന്നമനത്തിനും സ്ത്രീശാക്തീകരണത്തിനും മനുഷ്യരുടെ ദുരിതങ്ങൾ ഇല്ലാതാക്കുന്നതിനും അശ്രാന്തപരിശ്രമം നടത്തിയ യഥാർഥ ദാർശനികനായിരുന്നു അദ്ദേഹം. വിദ്യാഭ്യാസത്തിനും പഠനത്തിനും അദ്ദേഹം നൽകിയ ഊന്നലും ശ്രദ്ധേയമായിരുന്നു. നമ്മുടെ രാഷ്ട്രത്തെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ കാഴ്ചപ്പാടു നിറവേറ്റാൻ നാം പ്രതിജ്ഞാബദ്ധരാണ്.”
