Pfutsero, March 14: Indian Foreign Made Liquor (IMFL) seized during election by volunteers of the Chakhesang Mothers’ Association (CMA) in collaboration with the law enforcing agencies of Pfutsero, were destroyed here at the ADC office premise, Pfutsero on Tuesday.
The unclaimed IMFL were seized during when the volunteers of CMA were manning the check gates for liquor and other intoxicated substances during the recently concluded state assembly election.
Additional Deputy Commissioner and Returning Officer, Japheth Woch appreciated the Chakhesang Clean Election Movement under whom CMA spearheaded the activities during the election. Because of the check gates initiative in the Chakhesang region, there was no law and order issue, he said and assured support for any such initiative in the future.
OC Pfutsero Police Station Lulun Singson informed that the IMFL destroyed were “unclaimed” and non FIR cases. Regular and registered cases were sent to the district administration at Phek, which was submitted for six times.
He added this was the second time that IMFL were destroyed in Pfutsero. All the seizures were made because of the team work, he said and added that the Pfutsero Mothers’ Association were backbone in the initiative.
CMA president Zhonelu Tunyi said the check gate initiative was started with zero budget and on credit. But the contribution from the Chakhesang Baptist Church Council and various other organisations and individuals has made it a success. She thanked the law enforcing agencies for their cooperation without which the activities will not be able to carry out. (Page News Service)
