Liquor being transported from Government of WB godowns in North 24 Parganas district in April 2020 during the nationwide lockdown

Nationwide lockdown is in force. Sale of liquor is strictly banned throughout India. 

However, mini trucks were filmed by Bengal Live with secret cameras on 2020-04-21. The mini trucks were spotted openly flaunting the rules during daytime and transporting loads of liquor from godowns owned/ licensed by Government of West Bengal to Barasat, Madhyamgram and elsewhere in North 24 Parganas district. 

The drivers being interviewed are clearly heard saying that they are not at all scared because they enjoyed the protection of West Bengal Police. 

Localites say that police officials from Habra PS had visited the godown after it reopened around mid-April 2020 but did precious little to stop the illegal activities. 

This is how West Bengal is fighting Coronavirus, while law abiding citizens are holed up at home spending uncertain weeks at a stretch. 

Wondering who inspires such governance with elan 🤔.
