Excise & Prohibition Minister T Padma Rao Goud said that the upcoming State budget would earmark Rs. 5 lakhs for those affected by the ban on cheap liquor production.
Releasing a diary for the Excise department at Secretariat, the Minister appreciated the staff for removing cheap liquor production units. Officials should ensure that cheap liquor never makes it way in or out of the State, he said.
"We were able to remove the cheap liquor production units by 98%. The government will provide help to the families affected by our move," he claimed.
