Visuals showed how the bulldozer was used to breakdown the glass bottles of alcohols. The operation, carried out on Wednesday, targeted several locations known for illegal distillation and sale of unregulated alcoholic beverages.
The action involved the use of bulldozers to demolish storage facilities and distillation equipment. Authorities highlighted the health risks associated with consuming unregulated alcohol, which often contains dangerous impurities.
This effort is part of a broader campaign to combat the illegal liquor trade in the region, which has seen a rise in recent months.
