This Government Resolution reorganizes the taluka-level (block-level) committee responsible for preventing illegal liquor production and sales in Maharashtra. The committee structure has been changed to include an Additional Tahsildar as chairperson, with members from police, excise department, medical officers, and female representatives from local village councils—replacing the previous system where the tahsildar chaired the committee.
Who is affected: All taluka administrations, police stations, state excise department officials, tahsildars (revenue officers), village panchayat representatives, and medical officers across Maharashtra are now required to follow this new committee structure.
Effective date: The resolution is dated May 11, 2026, and the committee must now meet at least once monthly to oversee strict enforcement of liquor prohibition laws and monitor illegal liquor activities across their respective talukas.
