Deadly concoctions

A series of tragedies resulting from the consumption of methanol prompt the Tamil Nadu government to allow the sale of low-priced liquor in the State. Police officers attributed these three incidents to a shortfall in the availability of illicitly distilled arrack and rectified spirit in the State after they smashed illicit liquor dens and arrested hundreds of bootleggers. The removal of methanol from the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act in 1984 has hampered the efforts of the police to check the diversion of methanol from industrial applications to the illicit liquor trade. The three latest incidents showed that the victims drank methanol because "illicitly distilled arrack was not readily available", Paramvir Singh said.
