Karnataka ex-servicemen raise alarm over fake military liquor; call for excise dept action, urge protection for legitimate users
The District Ex-Servicemen Association seeks action against fake military liquor. They want to ensure genuine users face no supply issues MADIKERI: The District Ex-Servicemen Association has called for action against fake military-branded liquor while ensuring legitimate users face no disruption in supply. The onus is on the Excise Department to prevent any fraudulent activities. Retired Major General B.A. Cariappa, President of the association, and retired Major Odiyanda S. Chingappa, Secretary, highlighted that the district has over 8,000 ex-servicemen and their dependents. They clarified that the consumption of military liquor at gatherings involving service personnel and their dependents remains acceptable. However, they emphasised the need for departmental intervention against fake military-branded liquor distribution. They affirmed that ex-servicemen sharing their allocated liquor with family and relatives is permissible. The association maintains that ex-servicemen should not engage in selling liquor from their facilities, supporting enforcement actions in such instances. They confirmed their intention to communicate these guidelines to their members. A recent association meeting at their Madikeri office, led by President Cariappa, addressed several issues, including the delay in conducting soldiers' Adalat. The association requested an immediate meeting under the district minister's leadership. The meeting also discussed the requirement for a community hall and land allocation for association activities. The association, on the occasion, encouraged ex-servicemen and dependents to join and utilise Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme facilities.
