Congress leaders in Madhya Pradesh have criticized the state government for its inability to curb illegal liquor sales, demanding a compensation of ₹25 lakh for the bereaved families affected by the recent Sagar liquor tragedy. Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar visited the affected individuals at Bundelkhand Medical College Hospital in Sagar and pledged to provide Rs 50,000 to the families during his visit.
Singhar expressed his concern over the thriving illicit liquor trade in Madhya Pradesh, questioning how the state government could allow such activities to continue under its watch. State Congress president Jitu Patwari also condemned the government, writing a letter to the chief minister about the incident that took place in Sahagarh, Sagar district in May of this year.

Deputy Chief Minister Jagdish Devda vowed that the responsible individuals would face severe consequences and that the government would take strict action against anyone involved in the production or sale of illicit liquor.
