Beed (PTI): Police in Maharashtra’s Beed district have banned 11 habitual offenders involved in the illegal sale of liquor from entering a few areas in view of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar’s birth anniversary, an official said on Sunday.

These individuals have been barred from entering the jurisdiction of Pethbeed police station and the broader Beed tehsil during Ambedkar Jayanti on April 14, he said.

Following a review of the security situation, an official order was passed to restrict the movement of 11 on-record criminals to prevent any untoward incidents or disruption of peace during the festivities, police said.

The alleged bootleggers have been served with notices, warning that they will face stringent legal action if they are found within the prohibited jurisdiction during the specified period, the official added.
