Chittoor police destroy 5,000 litres of jaggery wash

The Chittoor police destroyed approximately 5,000 litres of jaggery wash during a cordon and search operation in Yanadi Colony and Gudduru forest under Ramakuppam police station limits on Sunday. The operation, led by Superintendent of Police Tushar Dudi and Additional SP Hemanth Boddu, involved teams from various police stations combing forest patches suspected of being used for illicit brewing.

The detection of fermented jaggery wash stored in drums for arrack preparation led to the destruction of the entire stock on the spot. Police also checked rowdy sheeters and verified their movements as part of preventive measures against anti-social activities.
