Shopkeepers in Kanglung under Trashigang will lose their licenses and be dragged to the court, if found selling alcohol items.
The move comes after eight shops were found selling alcohol during a surprise raid by the Regional Trade Office in Monggar recently.
“Most of them were repeated offenders,” said the Monggar’s Regional Trade and Industry’s Regional Director, Aiman Mahat.
The Dzongkhag Tshogdue resolution says sale of alcohol is banned within five kilometres radius in Kanglung.
The offenders, this time, was fined Nu. 5,000 each.
