# थोडक्यात:
**राज्य उत्पादन शुल्क विभागाने अफू bond (Poppy-2 License) च्या गैरवापरावर लगाम घालण्यासाठी सर्व जिल्ह्यांना कडक तपासणीचा आदेश दिला आहे. नवीन license देणे बंद केले आहे जोपर्यंत मागील licenseची तपासणी पूर्ण न हो.**

---

## काय बदलले?

**आधी का:** अफू bond (opium bonds) च्या license अंतर्गत दिलेल्या अफूचा गैरवापर होत होता. कमी होता, गावपातळीवर अनैतिक विक्री होत होती.

**आता काय:**
- सर्व existing Poppy-2 license holders ची तपासणी करायची
- नवीन license देणे प्रतिबंधित केले
- जोपर्यंत पुरातन licenses ची तपासणी न हो

---

## तपासणीचे नियम:

**जिल्ह्याने काय करायचे:**

1. **License holder ची पडताळणी** — खरोखर business चालू आहे का?

2. **Stock तपासणी** — अफू केवळ legal उद्देशांसाठी वापरली जात आहे का? Registers शी actual quantity जुळत आहे का?

3. **Diversion रोक** — अनैतिक विक्री किंवा tribal/rural भागात गैरवापर तर होत नाही?

4. **Non-compliant holders विरुद्ध कारवाई** — नियम मोडणाऱ्यांला कारवाई करायची.

5. **लगेच रिपोर्ट** — State Excise Commissioner ना तपासणी पूर्ण झाली हे कळवायचे.

---

## कोण प्रभावित होतो?

✓ **Poppy-2 License holders** — नवीन permit मिलणे अडचणीत पडेल
✓ **आयुर्वेदिक/वैद्यकीय अफू वापरकर्ते** — अनावश्यक delay आशंका

**लक्षात ठेवा:** हा circular **1998 च्या आसपास** issued झाला आहे, अतिशय जुना आहे.
