Unauthorised Sales Of Hard Liqours

Though the government has enacted laws requiring traders to receive licence for selling liquors, this is not so in practice. One can virtually see shops with no licence selling brewed liquors even in the capital city, not to talk about the periphery. More alarming is the fact that even the grocers and tea stallers (who of course are not licensed) openly sell such drinks, which is an unauthorised act.

In addition to this, minors (below 18 years of age) should not be allowed to buy tobacco products, a provision in many of the countries in the world. This too is happening here. The government should do something regarding these activities if anti-tobacco and liquor campaigns are not to go in vain.
